Until virtually up to his death, Bill owned and operated a Volkswagen specialty shop in Tucson. Despite his death, the business still flourishes and the shop, in Nth. Columbus Blvd., is still one of Tucson's busiest repair shops. Bill's racing career only stopped in the 1980's after many years racing on dirt tracks. It all started as an eleven year old in a soap-box derby event, which finished after 100 yards after the rubber hose Bill used as tyres fell off! His career then developed from there, racing jalopies, sprint, midget and Indycars. His last race came in 1992, when he competed - and won - in an event locally in an electric car. Shortly after that, he was diagnosed with cancer, which ultimately claimed his life.
