Born Aug. 13, 1932, in Ft. Lupton, CO, Bill was the fourth child born to August and Ruth Heldt. He was raised in Boulder County, his formative years on the family dairy farm in Niwot. He accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior at age 14. Bill graduated from Longmont High School in 1951.

Bill married his high school sweetheart, Edris Page, on Oct. 14, 1953. They celebrated 71 years together before her passing last year. Bill proudly served his country in the US Army from 1954 to 1956, spending 18 months in Germany as a wrecker operator. After returning home, Bill and Edris started their family and their own dairy farm.

The family moved to the Galeton farm in 1968. Bill retired in 2016 at the age of 84 and he and Edris moved to Eaton, CO. He moved to Meadow View Assisted Living in Greeley, CO in 2024.
