Later he worked as a printer and retired at the age of 62 from Baylor Printing. Bill loved to deer hunt and had a lease in Llano for 39 years.

Bill and Jo Ann loved to travel and saw all 50 states during their years together. They were members of Kountry Campers and Robinson Drive United Methodist Church where they made many friends. Bill enjoyed many gatherings with friends and family sitting around the table playing games, but his special love was his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
