Bill began his apprenticeship as a carpenter at fifteen years old from his uncle Onufrey Myroniuk. He married Jean Ewanciw in 1951 and began farming across from his parents. Later they bought a farm southwest of Myrnam where they raised their three children. Bill as a carpenter built plenty of block basements, over forty homes and around seventy-five sets of kitchen cabinets in Myrnam and surrounding area. He was a very hard-working man and played just as hard. In his retirement, he moved from Myrnam to Vegreville. Bill enjoyed pool, cards, bingo, curling, and playing his violin.
