Prior to his retirement, Bill had worked in the advertising field as a salesman and a photographer.

Bill was very devout and loved his religion, having been baptized into the faith on July 26, 1957.

He enjoyed studying history (especially Native American history), travel and photography.

Bill was affectionally known as the “energizer bunny” amongst his family and friends for overcoming the adversities that life brought him.  He never let diabetes, and the subsequent amputations, slow him down.

Those left to honor his memory include sons Steve (Kathy) Driskell of Dry Ridge, KY, and Aaron Driskell of Davenport; and a very special niece Dawn Quinones of Davenport.

In addition to his wife Gloria, his parents and step-mother Nellie Mae Driskell, preceded him in death.
