Bill was born June 13, 1939, in Dubuque, Iowa, son of Walter and Clara (Kress) Siegert. He was a graduate of Senior High School in Dubuque, Iowa. He was united in marriage on July 26, 1960, to Janet McKenna at St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Garryowen, Iowa.  Together the couple farmed in the rural Dubuque, Iowa and farmed Holstein and Brown Swiss dairy.  He enjoyed driving tractors and doing field work until the end.  There were days bill could hardly walk, but he would always find a way to climb into a tractor. Bill spent many summers driving his red tractors with friends and family on the WMT Tractorcade.
