Bill dedicated 45 years of his career to Operating Engineers Local #324, contributing to numerous projects over the years. He also worked with Nagy Excavating, continuing a strong family work ethic. In retirement, he and Jody moved to Huntley, Illinois, where they spent the past three years enjoying time close to their grandchildren, something that brought Bill immense joy.
