William was a member of the International Union of Operating Engineers for 23 years. He was a dedicated instructor for 20 years of the 2nd year apprenticeship class teaching Electricity and Electrical Motor Controls. He instructed approximately 302 future engineers in the apprenticeship program and many others in his advanced-training course, Basic Boiler. He also instructed OSHA Training for all of the apprentices.

Billy loved being with his family and was a very proud father of his 3 daughters. He enjoyed hanging out with friends; music, dancing, Washington Football, playing keno, horseracing, cooking and traveling were among some of his passions. He was a man that you could always count on, always available to help out friends and family. He had a very kind heart and a quick wit, and will be dearly missed by all that knew and loved him.
