William was born on September 28, 1926 to William Harry and Rosa Mae Tyndall in Temperanceville, VA.  William graduated from Atlantic High School in Oak Hall, VA in 1944.  Near his 18th birthday, he was called to Active Service with the United States Army.  In 1944, he married Rebecca Adkins and reported to Ft. Knox.  In Armored School training he completed various arms, Deuce and a half, and radio school and was assigned to the 710th Tank Battalion in Leyte Island Philippines. He was honorably discharged in December 1946.

In January of 1947, he began civilian work for the Naval Aviation Ordnance Test Station in Chincoteague, VA.  In March 1959, he moved to Dahlgren, VA following a work opportunity at the Naval Proving Ground.  During these years, he was blessed with his two children Lana Jane and William Scott.

In 1986, he married Alice (Gulick) Tyndall.  William enjoyed many years of gardening, camping, traveling, and family visits.  Over the years, they upgraded travel trailers and mastered camping. Bill spoke of adventures and travels to his Army reunions.  He was proud of his Masonic accomplishments, offices, and the brothers at each Masonic body.
