Potoka, Jr. grew up in and around the small community of Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania. He spent his early years in a “company house” in the coal patch towns of Standard and Shaft, part of the H.C. Frick coal empire in western Pennsylvania. Bill feels blessed to have grown up in small town America with the strong ethnic values, traditions, and work ethic demonstrated by a loving and caring family. Bill attended West Virginia University before serving in the United States Marine Corps. He eventually returned to join his father in the heavy towing and vehicle service business. Together they ran the family business for fifty-four years. Bill was inspired to start writing to tell the story of his World War II veteran father, just one of many everyday common men and women who are our true American heroes. Bill and his wife Julie still reside in Mount Pleasant where they raised three sons and have four grandchildren. Family and family traditions continue to be the center of their lives.visualizza meno
