Bill enjoyed an over thirty-year career in technology and sales, retiring in 2007 from his position as Vice President of North American Operations for Agilent Technologies. Bill lived a full life devoted to his Christian faith, his family, and his vast range of hobbies and interests. He lived his life as a good and faithful servant, daily embodying the love of Christ. Bill also shared his devotion and faith in Christ as a published author of several books on faith and healing and through his Revelations Wisdom Ministry program. He held his FCC license for radio, becoming a Christian radio personality with Revelations Wisdom Ministries aired on I Heart Radio. He was also a world traveler, and with his late wife Barbara, they visited countries in Europe, South America, and Asia as well as every state in the Union.
