A lifelong resident of Bedford, Bill graduated from Bedford High School the class of “76” and became a Master Plumber. He worked for Schoch Plumbing and Heating, the family business, and later became partners with his brother Richard.

He was a member of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, Temperance and also a 30 year member of Plumbers and Pipe Fitters Local #671. Long time member of Monroe Master Plumbers. Bill always loved working with his hands and often took things apart to put them together again for the better, and always gave a helping hand to those in need.
