Employed at AT&T his entire career, he was assigned first to Washington, then Philadelphia, and in 1960, to New York. He and his growing family moved to Westfield where he and his four boys spent untold hours refurbishing their historic house on Kimball Avenue. During his final years with AT&T he worked on the anti-trust case against MCI.

Upon retirement in 1981, he first moved to Kill Devil Hills, NC. His engineering skills came in handy as he built a prefabricated Deck house on a hill overlooking Colington Harbor. He was also able to indulge his love of sailing on his trimaran Kiwi Magic. The trophy for the annual Albemarle 100 mile round trip race from Colington to Edenton , The Quest for the Best was named The Bill Best Cup in recognition of his many years of service to the Colington Harbor Yacht Club.

He spent the last fourteen years in Williamsburg at The Landing. He built a workroom, traveled to Europe and New Zealand, and attended the Norfolk Opera every season. He eventually lost his eyesight but listened to about 25 books a month on CD.

He was a dedicated family man who pursued many hobbies including restoring a 1969 XKE Jaguar, gardening, making beer and furniture, developing his own photographs, and actively studying genealogy of his Best roots. He is most proud of his time serving with Boy Scouts of America Troop 172, in Westfield, NJ, teaching his sons and the other boys camping, survival, boating, about stars and trees, and helping to run the Klondike Derby. Many summers with the troop were spent on the Saranac Lakes in NY State.

He will be remembered by his family as a hero, and as a kind and honorable man.
