Bill had 2 children, Peter and Penny Eul from a previous marriage. Bill and Eleanor had three children, Kristine, Karl and Kristofer during their marriage of 54 years.

Bill had a passion for the outdoors and travelling. He loved mountain climbing, hiking, skiing, bicycling and boating and he shared this passion with his family taking them on some wonderful adventures over the years. He and Eleanor travelled all over the world both for work and for pleasure.  Bill and Eleanor spent much of their retirement years in Sun Valley skiing in the winter and attending concerts in the summer.
