Both Bill and Doris have touched my life through the years. Bill was a peer of my dad's as they pastored together in the district. He was a faithful man of God, loved and cared for people and had an influence on many lives. I know he will be deeply missed but am thankful he's at home with his Jesus!

My love to you and your family, Doris, in the home going of Bill. While we grieve his going, he has gone on to his great reward. "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms..." GBU.
