Bill was born on November 25, 1940 to Thomas and Melvina (West) McElduff in Spencer, North Carolina. Bill was a huge fan of baseball, football, and NASCAR. He had a love for nature and all animals. Throughout Bills life he was devoted to his faith with the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints. Bill was known to many as Papa, Grandpa Mac, or Wildman. Bills greatest gift in life was his personality and character, he never met a stranger. Bills charismatic personality even led him to be in a handful of western films and the movie Animal House. There was never a dull moment when he was around. He was constantly laughing, smiling, or telling a joke. Even at 82, Bill never lost his southern drawl. Bill is preceded in death by his parents; wife, Carol McElduff; siblings, Pansy ODonoghue, Bobby McElduff, and Tommy McElduff; and children, Belinda Muench, Jason McElduff and Doris Marie.
