Bill was a good friend we did 4 Bible Studies a week together for over five years. I will miss his Godly wisdom and his smile. We enjoyed much time together when we could out side of Bible Study. I liked how Bill would let you know what he thought the truth was, and allow you to be wrong in what you believe. He would say it is up to me to convince anyone of anything that is God’s job. All the people who lives he touch will and do miss him. We who believe as he did can not wait to see him again thanks to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ whom we hope turn your morning in joy. His Friend, Thomas Mercer

Bill was one of my very good friends when he worked at Beech. We stayed in contact through the years through some occasional emails. Bill was my trainer and did an excellent job. I can't express how much Bill helped me in my career and as a friend.

I know Bill is enjoying his time now in the life hereafter as he did here on earth.
