Bill succumbed to a heart attack in St. John's Hospital, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, at the age of 54. Bill was born in Guthrie, Oklahoma, on February 3, 1916. Bill graduated in 1932 from Guthrie High School. He attended Central State College in Edmond, Oklahoma, for one year, and then enrolled in Oklahoma A&M College (later Oklahoma State University). There Bill came under the aegis of Ray L. Six and was introduced to geology. His enthusiastic response to the science prompted him to transfer to the University of Oklahoma at Norman, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in geology. His association with OU was to last many years. Continuing his education, Bill enrolled at OU for a master's degree, which he received the following year. As a student at OU, Bill was quickly recognized as a superior worker by his peers, and at the completion of the master's degree he was asked to stay on as an instructor in mineralogy and petrology from 1939 to 1941. On July 1, 1941, Bill joined the staff of the Oklahoma Geological Survey, beginning a career that was to span almost 30 years) - https://rock.geosociety.org/net/documents/gsa/memorials/v05/Ham-WE.pdf
