While an undergraduate at Texas, Cade became a member of the Tau chapter of Kappa Sigma fraternity.{{cite book|title=Cactus Yearbook|year=1968|publisher=University of Texas|location=Austin, TX|page=490}}

Cade's wife, Elsa Salazar Cade (born 1952, San Antonio, Texas), is a Mexican-American science teacher and entomologist. She was selected as one of the top ten science teachers in 1995 by the National Science Teachers Association{{Cite news |date=1995-02-17 |title=Buffalo teacher a finalist for science group award |pages=35 |work=The Buffalo News |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-buffalo-news-buffalo-teacher-a-final/137515723/ |access-date=2023-12-28}} for her efforts in expanding educational opportunities for underprivileged students, particularly those with disabilities from lower income communities.{{Cite book |last=Gabbadon |first=Andrea Terrero |title=Support and retain educators of color: 6 principles for culturally affirming leadership |date=2023 |publisher=ASCD |isbn=978-1-4166-3213-9 |location=Arlington, Virginia}} Beyond her contributions to science education, Salazar Cade and her husband were recognized for their philanthropic work. Their efforts to support Haitian disaster survivors included fundraising for shelter and critical supplies. In 2010, the Association of Fundraising Professionals in Calgary honored them with the Generosity of Spirit Award on National Philanthropy Day.{{Cite news |date=2010-11-11 |title=Bill & Elsa Cade |page=78 |work=Calgary Herald |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/calgary-herald-bill-elsa-cade/137515843/ |access-date=2023-12-28}}{{Cite web |date=November 17, 2021 |title=Retired teacher Elsa Salazar Cade of Texas has garnered many awards |url=https://chalkboardchampions.org/elsa-salazar-cade/ |website=Chalkboard Champions}}

William Cade has done research in evolution of animal behavior, insect reproductive behavior, acoustic signals in cricket, cockroach mating behavior, and parasite-prey coevolution.

With his wife, Cade has done more than 30 years of research on the Texas field cricket, Gryllus texensis.Male mating success, calling and searching behavior at high and low density in the field cricket, Gryllus integer William H. Cade & Elsa Salazar Cade, Animal Behavior, 1992, pp. 43, 49-56. He also had a long collaboration with Dan Otte collecting and studying the crickets and grasshoppers of Africa.Alternation calling and spacing patterns in the field cricket Acanthogryllus fortipes (Orthoptera; Gryllidae). William H. Cade and Daniel Otte, Canadian Journal of Zoology, pp. 2916-2920 In 1975, together with his wife, he discovered the parasitic fly Ormia ochracea is attracted to the song of male crickets. Only female flies are attracted to the song, and they deposit living larvae on and in the vicinity of calling males. The larvae burrow into and eat the cricket who dies in about 7 days when the flies pupate. This was the first example of a natural enemy that locates its host or prey using the mating signal of the host/prey.Cade, W. H. 1975. Acoustically orienting parasitoids: Fly phonotaxis to cricket song. Science 190: pp. 1312-1313. In 2006, research by Marlene Zuk revealed that pressure from the O. ochracea caused the crickets to evolve a silent male with wings that look like female wings, one of the fastest recorded examples of evolution.{{Cite web|url=http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20060923/fob5.asp|title = Crickets on Mute: Hush falls as killer fly stalks singers|date = September 20, 2006}}
