Bill, as he was known to family and friends, was the golf course superintendent at Deepdale Golf Club in Manhasset for more than 20 years, and later, the grounds supervisor for Manhasset Public Schools. Born in North Easton, Massachusetts, on July 17, 1938, Bill always loved working outdoors. One of his earliest jobs was as a tree climber-arborist for the Town of Easton. After earning an associate’s degree in turf management from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, he made his way to Long Island and embarked on his golf course career – while at Deepdale, he would run into the likes of Joe Namath and even Sean Connery one time.
