He attended North Penn High School but left early to go work in his father's business, "Bennett's Market" in North Wales. He then was employed as a manager for Clemens Markets (now known as Clemens Food Group) in Lansdale for more than 30 years. Bill then worked as manager for Landis Supermarket in Telford, as a youth pastor for Branch Community Church in Harleysville, and lastly as a manager for Henning's Market in Harleysville.

He loved spending time with his family especially the grandchildren in which he would provide them with an abundance of cookies and candy. He enjoyed going to the mountains with his family in Wellsboro, PA, playing golf, camping, listening to worship music, and cheering for all the Philadelphia sports teams.

He was an advocate for the sick and the needy. Bill also had a big heart towards youth and teens for their salvation and spiritual growth. He was a dedicated letter writer, enjoyed being outdoors in nature, and was a huge lover of Diet Coke.

Bill was a hardworking, driven yet generous man who had a passionate love for his family and a great sense of humor. He cared deeply for his wife, regularly making sure she was taken care of long before he ever thought of himself.
