He spent his early years in Norwood before his family settled in Westwood, Massachusetts. Bill graduated from Westwood High School with the Class of 1956.

Upon his discharge from the service, Bill and Jane made their home together in Kommack on Long Island, New York, where they welcomed their three children. Bill utilized the technical training that he received in the service to obtain a career in the microwave field, working for various companies.
