Bill served his country in the US Army and then attended University of Houston. After graduation he worked for the US Army Corps of Engineers and retired as Chief of the Drafting Room in 1988, but continued his endeavors at Catlin Engineers and Scientists. His love and knowledge of the water allowed him to use his experience to design many piers, docks and marinas along the East Coast. He was very involved with Thalian Association and the Azalea Festival. Bill’s greatest love was the water and was a charter member of the “Masonboro Maniacs”.
