Bill was born in Winnipeg and lived in East Elmwood. As a young boy he enjoyed playing hockey and baseball out of East Elmwood community club. Eventually Bill took up curling and enjoyed the sport for years, making many friends and acquaintances along the way. He particularly enjoyed the bus trips with CPR workmates in the various regional bonspiels. In the summer, the golf course was his favourite place to be.
