Bill and Jeanette owned several businesses in Lind as well, Empire Café, Wills Septic, Liquor Store Wills Farming and Merchandise.

Bill served 3 terms as Adams County Commissioner. He loved serving the people of Adams County. He called everyone a friend; he would talk with anyone and everyone about whatever. He did not have a bad bone in him. The most honest man you could meet.

The demo derby and Lions Club were Bills passions in his later years. Bill loved to sit on his patio and wave to everybody that went by knowing them or not. Bill never met a stranger! Poppie loved his country, his flag, Lind and his family. He survived by his 2 children, Joe William Jr. (Cathay) and Bradley James Wills (Traci).
