Bill moved to Idaho City on June 16, 1975 with his Mom &
family. He started Basin Elementary in
the 2

1982 as one of the class speakers. He
then enjoyed his many 6:00 a.m. bus rides to the valley to attend North Jr High
and Boise High School, graduating in 1986. After High School, Bill served in the Marines. Upon returning home he attended Boise State
University and obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Education. He then joined Basin School District in 1995,
where he taught and coached for the next 20 years.
Bill was also served as a class advisor, National Honor
Society advisor, Idaho City Historical Foundation Vice-President, Idaho City

Bill’s love of history was apparent through the enthusiasm
of his students, present and former. He coached all levels track, basketball
and volleyball. He also enjoyed officiating
both Middle School basketball and volleyball games. His message to his student athletes included
“take your skills and apply them to real life” and “don’t be afraid of
success”.
Bill’s other hobbies included cross country skiing, boating,
playing basketball and softball and of course watching his beloved LAKERS (win
or lose).
Our Community has lost a great family member, teacher, coach
and friend.
