Bill was born February 1, 1935, in Emporia, Kansas, to parents Robert and Roberta (Cary) Kean. On August 23, 1956, Bill married Iris Lenora Mardis.

He enjoyed reading and collecting books, loved old cars, trains, and steam tractors. Bill liked to be outside working in his yard and garden. Bill will be remembered for his pleasant, even keeled disposition and his good positive attitude. He was respectful and kind to all people. He loved spending time with his family, and he will be greatly missed.
