Bill and Family,
You have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your father. I know that he loved and was loved back by all of his family and friends. It was an honor to have met him and truly enjoyed the time talking with him when he came here to visit. His personal qualities were something to be admired and looked up to. I am one of the many who join you in the sorry of his passing. Love to all, Steve Hildebrand.

Wanda and Family:
I am saddened to read of Bill's death. I have many fond memories of Bill as we bowled together and chased that silly white ball. I fondly remember sitting in the den in NN and talking about things that matter most--Jesus and salvation. Wanda, thank you for your sweet spirit and keping me straight at IBC. My prayers are with you and your family during these difficult days. Remember, God wlaks with us "through" the valley (Ps. 23:4).
