William was orphaned at a young age and was sent to live with a neighbor. He ran away from home as a teenager and eventually was employed by the railroad. While in Galveston, he was introduced to Kitty Cowan whom he eventually married at St. Patrick's Church on April 20, 1899, in Galveston.
The family moved around with the railroad during the first part of their marriage. Their first child was born in South Dakota and their second in New Mexico. By 1918, they settled in Kansas City, Kansas, where they made their permanent home. By 1940, he had left the railroad and worked for Columbian Steel Tank in Kansas City.
After his wife Kitty passed away, he moved in with his daughter on Grandview Blvd. Boboo, as he was fondly called by his grandchildren and great grandchildren, always looked dapper in his fedora hat, which he usually wore.
