Bill was born on May 15, 1929 in Waterloo, Iowa the only son of Lyman and Ruth Lowe. He was raised in Cedar Falls, IA and graduated from the Cedar Falls High School in the Class of 1946.

Since 1951 they have made Reinbeck their home and there they welcomed two children into their family.
Bill began working for Moeller & Walter, Inc. in 1951 and eventually he became the owner and president of the company, retiring in 1984. Bill was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Reinbeck. He was an avid outdoorsman. Bill liked to hunt and he especially enjoyed sharing Sunday mornings with the Brahma Gang, a tradition he kept since 1968. He was a 50 year member of the Reinbeck Masonic Coin Lodge #394, a 25 year Reinbeck Volunteer Fireman and a 20 year Captain of the Grundy County Sheriffs Reserves. However, Bill's true joy in life came from spending time with his family and friends, especially his grandchildren.
