Bill grew up working on the family farm in Bryantown, MD, helping to raise tobacco and other crops. He later joined the National Guard and, upon his discharge, started his Banking Career with Hughesville Savings Bank, which later was known as Bank of Southern Maryland/Mercantile, which he managed for 35 years. Bill met and married the love of his life, JoAnne Love Burroughs. They enjoyed many good years together, living their retirement in Northern Neck as well as Myrtle Beach. They both loved their dachshunds, Lucky, Checkers, and Fritz. Fritz was Billy's best friend and brought him much comfort and companionship. He cherished 12 good years with him. Bill also worked for County First Bank in Commercial Lending after his retirement from Bank of Southern Maryland, and later became a member of the Board of Directors for County First Bank. Bill was driven and dedicated in his banking career. He was a people person who enjoyed his time with his customers and co-workers. He would have continued his position as Director with County First Bank, but had to retire due to his age.
