Born on March 16, 1932 on the family farm near Radcliffe, Bill was the son of Erick and Celia (Rierson) Waugh. His father passed away at a young age, which required Bill and his brother to look after their mother and the farm. They farmed the ground, planting and harvesting with a team of horses. Bill graduated from Roland High School in 1950. He then enlisted in the U.S. Air Force as a mechanic. While in the Air Force, Bill went on a blind date with Manita Mattison in Salina Kansas. They were united in marriage on September 15, 1957. Bill was a farmer all his life in the Radcliffe area. He enjoyed bringing family together and was always helping someone in need. Bill had a special love for airplanes and also enjoyed taking his family boating. Bill was a member of the Roland American Legion Post #307. He was also a member of the Salem Lutheran Church, where he was a regular usher.
