Bill was born November 6, 1942, to Harold "Bill" Donald Trelease and Nieves Erquiaga "Snow" Trelease, in Boulder City, where he lived most of his life. He served honorably In the U.S. Navy, on the destroyer USS Nicholas, in Hawaii and Japan from 1960 to 1963.

Bill was a proud resident of Boulder City, where he competed in the recreational sports of basketball, softball and volleyball. He was a graduate and supporter of Boulder City High School. Bill enjoyed retirement playing Frisbee in the parks with his beloved dog, Blue, skiing in Utah, golfing with friends on the Boulder City Municipal Golf Course and eating breakfast in the local restaurants, where he made many friends with servers who soon knew what he would be ordering, even when he couldn't remember what he wanted.

Bill and Kathy later divorced, but Bill continued to be involved with his kids, supporting them in their many sports and activities.
