Bill graduated in the top of his class with academic honors from Braddock High School in 1939 with a perfect attendance record. He attended Westinghouse Technical Institute and studied Mechanical Engineering until he was drafted in 1942 to serve in WWII.

William served in The 8th United States Army Air Force (USAAF) from 1942-1945. As a Staff Sergeant, his military specialties included radar bombardment, radar mechanic, and was a member of a B-24 Liberator flight crew. As a decorated veteran, he was in numerous North African and European battles including the Air Offensive, Europe campaign.

After his military service, Bill returned to his home in Braddock, PA to help his older brother, Mike, continue the successful legacy of their family business, Fedor’s Meat Market. After more than three decades as both a skilled meat cutter and operations manager, Bill closed the business in 1978. He continued to work independently as a meat specialist and consultant for The William Penn Hotel and then finished his career at the Liberty Market in Turtle Creek, PA. He retired in 1988 with over 45 years of experience in the meat cutting specialty business.

Bill dedicated his life to his family and church. He was proud of his Slovak heritage and was a lifelong member and volunteer at Sts. Peter and Paul Byzantine Catholic Church in Braddock. Bill found joy in traveling and was a connoisseur of fine dining with the perfect ambiance over a glass of red wine. He lived for memorable trips with his three sisters, especially to the casinos in Las Vegas. Bill was a devoted music lover and was always ready “to put on his dancing shoes”. As a car buff, he loved focusing on mechanics, design and performance on all types of cars. He was an avid reader with a sharp mind and a crossword  enthusiast who always looked forward to the challenge of conquering the Sunday New York Times puzzle in ink.
