Barb & Bill Jr., I am truly sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it is to lose a parent as mother died 8 yrs ago. Bill took good care of her and I am grateful for that! Take care. Sandy & Bobby Kolker, Roseburg, Oregon

Bill was a great guy who everyone loved. He was a great step father to Tom, Sandy, and I and we'll always miss him. Our condolences go out to the family and also Barb and her brother. Tom and I loved Bill like our own father and he will be greatly missed. I hope Someday we'll see him again in a better place. We love you Dad.

I see Bill standing in front of the leaflet rack in the
Church lobby, checking and noting what needs to be replaced. I can remember him walking w/his cane, one day while I worked at ACS and a client being helped was experiencing the very difficulties that one of Bill's booklets "he just happened to have in the van" was able to answer. Elva, he always said what a blessing you were to him.
May you "abide under the shadow of The Almighty" Ps 91
