Bill as he was known by his family and friends was born in Rome, New York November 6, 1952 to William F. Vaughn Sr. of Rome, New York and the late Ann Piekarski Vaughn.  Bill was a loving husband, father, brother, and son.

Bill was a religious man who loved God and his family above all else.  He loved going hunting and watching Nascar.  Bill was always the person to call on when things needed fixed.  He spent hours on the phone with his daughter Kimberly every fall planning their hunting strategies.
