Bill was born February 28, 1928 at Marysville, KS, son of Cyrus and Altha Nester. In 1946, he graduated from Marysville High School. Following basic training at Ft. Knox, KY, in the Field Artillery, he served in the Army of Occupation, Seoul, Korea, in 1946-1947. On November 11, 1950, he was united in marriage to Cleo Cameron. In 1952, he graduated from Emporia State Teachers College with a Bachelor of Science Degree. He began his federal civilian service in 1952 at the Topeka Air Force Depot. In March 1958, he transferred to the Social Security Administration Payment Center in Kansas City, MO. In 1985, he retired after 35 years of federal service, the last 15 years of which he served as Chief, Personnel Operations Branch for the Payment Center. During his career Bill received several awards for outstanding work performance but the most prestigious was the Social Security Administration's highest honor award, the Commissioner's Citation, which was awarded to him in September 1967, at Social Security Administration Headquarters in Baltimore, MD. His wife, Cleo, and his mother attended these award ceremonies with him. Following his retirement in 1985, he spent a lot of time with his chief hobby, growing and showing dahlias and doing volunteer work for the Salvation Army where he was an interviewer of needy families in the Family Services Division, Independence, MO, and later as a driver for Meals on Wheels and Wheels That Care programs sponsored by the Shepherd's Center of Raytown. Bill and his wife became members of the Raytown Christian Church in 1963 where he served several three year terms as a Deacon.

He was certified by the American Dahlia Society as a Senior Dahlia Show Judge. He was a member of Masonic Lodge #91 in Marysville and American Legion Post #21 in Independence, MO.
