He was born in Hanover, Kansas on November 29, 1932, the son of George and Eva (Turk) Bond. The family moved to Topeka, Kansas when he was seven years old. He attended Holy Name Grade School and Hayden High School. Bill was a member of Holy Name Church (Mater Dei Parish) since he moved to Topeka.

After that, he started his own business, Bill Bond Contract Installer, where he installed window treatments for many of the designers in Topeka. He retired in 2004. If you knew Bill, you knew he loved playing, coaching and talking sports. He played basketball and football for both Holy Name Grade School and Hayden High School and coached basketball for Holy Name, Assumption and St. Matthew’s grade schools. He was a starter (firing the starting gun) for the Catholic Parochial League for track meets and loved it when former grade school track athletes stopped him and said they remembered him from all of the track meets. He married Elizabeth Bahm on January 10, 1953. They were looking forward to their 70th wedding anniversary on January 10, 2023. She survives him.
