Bill spent the majority of his adult life calling Aurora his home. He was raised on the family farm in Whittemore, Iowa, and graduated from Whittemore High School in 1948. Bill served in the U.S. Army from January 1952 until he received an honorary discharge in December 1959. On Jan. 24, 1959, Bill married Darlene Rudolph in Grand Island; they would have celebrated 63 years of wedded bliss. To this union, two children were born: Pamela Marie and Randy Willis. Bill's career started out building grain elevators throughout the Midwest after his discharge. His last project was the feed mill at the Aurora Coop Elevator. In 1962, he joined the Aurora Coop Elevator holding many job titles. Bill retired from the Coop in 1996. While living in Aurora, he volunteered with the Aurora Volunteer Fire Department, holding the rank of fire chief from 1976 to 1988, retiring in 2007. After retirement Bill worked for Snoberger Farms and the city of Aurora as the groundskeeper at Mitchell Field. He was very proud of the ball field and hosting Legion district and state tourneys. In 2010, Bill and Darlene ventured to Kissimmee, Fla., to be close to their granddaughter and returned to Grand Island in late 2011 due to Darlene's health. Bill's greatest joys of life was spending time with his family, and he was so proud of their accomplishments. He will always be remembered as hard-working, humble and willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed help.
