He was drafted into the Army in 1969, stationed in Ft. Ord, CA, and honorably discharged in 1972.

Bill and Pam were married for 52 years. During their years together they enjoyed raising their two boys, spending time with family, grandkids, church friends, and serving God through their hospitality and helping others. Bill's career as a salesman spanned five decades and multiple industries. He always achieved top salesman at whatever company he worked, and he never met a stranger. Throughout his life, Bill was active in his local church, in Gideons International, and in recent years, in Bible Study Fellowship. He was passionate about classic cars, and Bill always loved a good joke.

Bill was preceded in death by his father, Dutch Briley; mother, Lucille Menzel; step-father, Marvin Menzel; and his wife, Pamela Briley. Survivors: Sons, Doug Briley (Rebecca), and Chris Briley (Kelli); and grandchildren, Russell, Elizabeth, Lanham, Cole, Eva, and Asher.
