Joan, so very sorry for your loss. I just found out today when I tried to call and wish Super Six happy birthday on the 238th USMC birthday. I remember fondly when he and Sgt Maj went golfing, running and the Omni. No nicer gentleman was ever born. The world is a little less bright now that he is gone. Much love, Jean Polifko

RIP Col Beyer great leader he is missed by many Marines

All of Berea will miss this dedicated servant, but he is not lost. We know that his real citizenship is where he currently resides (in heaven with our Lord). Jesus said, "I prepare a place for you that where I am there you will be also." Bill resides in that prepared place, as can we all if we trust in The Lord Jesus.
Berea loves you, Bill. God bless Joan and all the family that remains on this side of glory.
