He maintained dual careers with Caterpillar and the U.S. Army Reserve, which provided unique engineering challenges on six continents. Bill retired from the U.S. Army Reserve at the rank of Colonel in 1993.

After retiring, Bill became involved in numerous elements of his community, including high school pre-engineering programs with the Oswego School District. He volunteered with the fire and police departments, served on the boards of several local organizations, and contributed his time to several Chicago-area museums.
