He took up the trade of Industrial Mechanics. Upon successful completion William returned home and went on to work for SRP: Salt River Project as a Lineman. He worked there for many years before going to work for APS: Arizona Public Service Company as a Natural Gas Technician.  When APS was purchased by Southwest Gas in 1984, William studied hard each evening. He took and passed the vigorous testing administered by Southwest Gas and became an Natural Gas Area Serviceman. 

William was modest although successful in education and employment. He passed his wisdom down to his children.

William like his Father before him, was an avid fisherman, loved dogs, and loved sitting out in the sunshine. 

He also deeply enjoyed a few scratch lottery tickets, win or lose they made his day. 

William being honorable, proposed to and married Ada ( Monique) Moore after his return from South Dakota.

This union in Holy Matrimony brought William such joy, and eventually brought a total of four children. He was a proud and loving Father of: Robert of Oklahoma, Precilla of Phoenix, Phillip of Phoenix, and Lawanna of Illinois.
