William's father was William John (Bill No 2) McCabe and his grandfather William (Bill No 1) McCabe who was a barber in Grenfell where the Vintage Car Club now is. There is also a William Michael (No 4) McCabe.
Bill No 3, a nephew of the famous Stan McCabe, represented the family when W J (Bill) O'Reilly was in Grenfell to officially open the Stan McCabe Complex at the Henry Lawson High School on April 3 1977.
