Bill died in a road accident on the 17th November 1960 at Scarborough aged 39.

Bill was a driver for the 'United' bus company, and on the 17th November 1960 for some reason he finished his shift later than normal. His friend, Mr George Wilkinson, was not well at the time and his works foreman had let him leave work early, and while he was waiting for his bus, Bill pulled up and gave him a lift home. They had gone less than a mile when a wagon failed to stop at a road junction on their right, and they were both killed.

In 1963 Dot married Frank Lawton.
