At college he belonged to Theta Chi Fraternity and the Varsity Club. In his junior year he defeated all two mile runners from the University of Delaware and from all MD colleges except Navy and the University of MD. He accelerated his graduation by attending summer school so he could graduate in January 1943 and begin active Navy duty, therefore he was not able to compete with his track team his senior college year.

He also served at sea on Far Eastern tours, and had shore duty in Virginia, California, Japan and Pennsylvania. After retirement from the Navy in 1964, he returned to the family home, Roecroft Hall, and worked in the Sudlersville Bank of Maryland for 25 years, retiring as its President in 1989. Bill was a charter life member of American Legion Post 18, a member of the Queen Anne's County Board of Education for 10 years, serving as President for two years, and also on the Governing Board of Chesapeake College. He was also a member of the Queen Anne's County Historical Society, a Vestryman, Sunday School Superintendent and Treasurer of St. Andrews Episcopal Church Sudlersville, MD until 1985 when he joined the Anglican Church to remain with his traditional faith.
