Bill enjoyed a long and distinguished career in the aerospace industry. He was extremely fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to make and be part of manned space flight history. His aerospace career spanned 34 years of service with Ford Aerospace, Rockwell Space Operations Company, and United Space Alliance. He worked on five National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) manned spaceflight programs (Gemini through Shuttle) and manned the Johnson Spacecraft Center (JSC) mission control center (MCC) during 49 space missions.
During the Apollo Program Bill worked in the Lunar Module (LM) Branch and participated in man’s first landing on the moon (Apollo 11). The Apollo 13 aborted lunar landing mission required a complete rewrite to the astronaut’s checklists and to piece together a totally new flight plan in real time for the safe recovery of the flight crew. The Apollo 13 mission was considered by many as the flight control team’s finest hour of which Bill was a part.
Bill moved from flight controller engineering support to development of MCC requirement documents for Shuttle payloads, developing the Payload Operations Control Center (POCC) Capabilities Document, and became the ISO 9000 Document Coordinator for Spaceflight Operations. Bill’s persistence and dedication in “doing things the right way” and challenging radical departures while allowing for innovation, were an inspiration to all with whom he was associated. He received numerous awards and recognition from NASA and his employers including NASA’s Silver Snoopy Award presented to him by Astronaut Bill Gregory.
Bill was proud to have been part of the team that advanced the nations capability in space and wrote space history.
Bill was happiest when he could sit down and read a good book, work a jig saw puzzle, write a book, or help his family members in their various projects. He loved staying home and taking care of his two Scottish Terriers. He was a wonderful husband, loving father, and will really be missed by all the people that knew him.
