Bill was the founder of “Bill & Wayne’s Tree Service” and took great pride in the work that he and his crew provided. “Mr. Schneider” coached baseball for St. Peter Athletic Club for several years and produced many winning teams. Later in life he made a point to attend all of his grandchildren’s ball games and always gave out that renowned dollar bill for any homerun. He held various offices with the Holyland Snowflyers and enjoyed snowmobiling. He was a member of the Fishermen's Road Fishing Club and held various offices with them. Bill was an enthusiastic hunter and fisherman and spent many hours staring into Lake Winnebago.
