As a family physician, he practiced medicine in private practice for over 40 years. He served on staff at Baylor Hospital, St. Paul’s Hospital, East Dallas Hospital and Clinic, and Mesquite Community Hospital. He particularly enjoyed obstetrics and treating families. He loved the fact that he delivered babies of some of the babies he had delivered. He received several awards for excellence in patient care. He was a very spiritual person and believed that as a doctor he assisted the healing capacity within each person.

In retirement, he was an avid golfer, winning the North Texas Senior Association tournament twice. Bill loved to relax in drives to the Hill Country of Texas. He was particularly fond of the Kerrville area in the spring. He was awed by mountains. Several family camping trips were taken to mountain ranges in Colorado, Montana, and Canada.
