Bill was a teacher and administrator, retiring from Beebe Public Schools. He enjoyed the people he worked with, especially "his girls" at Beebe Primary School. Through the years he touched many of his students' lives in a special way.
He was a loyal Hog fan, and a true Badger. Bill also enjoyed working with his cows on the farm. He was a wonderful daddy and grandad, and we will miss him, but we are blessed with the love and memories he gave us.
