He was the first in his family to graduate from high school 〔Earl Capps: Bill Mescher, the American dream http://earlcapps.blogspot.co.uk/2007/04/bill-mescher-american-dream.html〕 and then benefitted from the GI Bill to go to college, having served as a US Army Staff Sergeant in World War II and Korea. He gained a B.S.E.E. from the University of Illinois, and later an M.B.A. from Northwestern University. Mescher went on to become chief executive of utilities company Santee Corp., and headed his own management consultancy practice. He was married twice. In 1948, he married Shirley Sisson; they had a daughter, Barbara Micheau, and a grandson, Walker Lee Dear. Shirley's death from lung cancer inspired Senator Mescher's campaign to legalise medical marijuana.〔Texans for Medical Marijuana http://texansformedicalmarijuana.org/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=166〕 After Shirley's death, he remarried in 1986 to (Sallie) Kitty Stanley; She had three children from her first marriage: Kathy Johnson, Reed Tanner, and Karen Tanner.
