He enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and was known to be quite a cook. He met his future wife Alyce Green on August 6, 1948. Alyce often said she took one look at him and that was it! As they rode the Ferris Wheel at Play Land Park on the evening of August 6th, dad smiled at mom and said this was a great way to celebrate his birthday. Mom thought he was giving her quite a 'line' since it was actually her birthday. They soon discovered that mom was an older woman by 3 hours - born late in the night of August 6th, while dad was born early in the morning hours of August 7th. William and Alyce were married on January 14, 1949. The couple lived in Fremont with their three children until 1969, moving to an acreage in Fontanelle in August of 1969.
