He made his way to Hanford though work, where he decided to stay and continue in plumbing, he worked for a couple of employers then found himself at Lemoore Naval Air Station. For many years, he worked in the California State Prison System at Avenal, Pleasant Valley Coalinga and Corcoran.  After retirement, he started his own Backflow business, he retired in December 2023.

Bill was an avid dove hunter and fishermen; if he wasn't found doing either of those things he would be watching the thing he loved to watch the most the Chicago Cubs, Boston Celtics, or the Cleveland Browns. Some of his friends and co-workers called him "Creboy", since he always wore his Cub hat.

He loved animals, some of his pets included Great Danes, Labs, and Turtles to name a few.
