As a boy, Bill enjoyed his experience as a scout so he served as treasurer for 16 years for Troop #1682.

Bill served his LORD and his Church, Our Shepherd Lutheran Church, Birmingham, in many capacities.

A member of Our Shepherd since 1968, he also served as usher for many years. The Promisekeeper movement became a vital part of Bill’s spiritual growth and he was blessed by the deeper relationships he shared with other PKs. In 1979 Bill and Dottie built a summer home in Oscoda, called Reiher’s Retreat. Here he was able to share his love of nature and especially fishing with family, friends and coworkers of all ages.

Eight weeks after their fist date they were engaged and married five months later on March 4, 1967. they moved to Michigan in 1968 and have lived in Troy since 1969. GOD chose to bless their marriage without children.
