It was such a blessing to stay with Bill and Diane in Cambodia. Hearing Bill and Diane's stories, sharing meals and laughter was like healing oil. Much love and peace Diane and family.

Bill was a wonderful, godly man with a pastor's heart, always caring for others in any way he could. He and Diane had an international ministry. I'm so glad I could get to know him and Diane at GOM conferences in Switzerland, where he gave me rides whenever possible. I was sad to see him suffer with so much pain for so long. But he is now enjoying his eternal reward in the presence of His Savior. May God comfort his wife and family.

What a wonderful man and educator. He will be missed by all who knew him. I wish Id had more time to converse with him at French luncheons. Heartfelt sympathy and prayers for comfort, Diane.

So grateful for Bill's life and his consistent, thoughtful, godly example. He had a steadying presence. It was a privelege and joy to know him. John and I are sad at his departure but grateful for the sure hope of seeing him again.

Fr. Bill represented the REC's Foreign Mission Board as a member of the Anglican Global Mission Partners (AGMP). He also served for many years on the AGMP Steering Committee.

We knew Bill through his work with the REC Board of Foreign Missions and looked forward to seeing him each year at Synod and other REC gatherings. He was always full of joie de vivre and self-deprecating humor. Our loss is God's eternal joy at the homecoming of a beloved servant and child. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." (Psalm 30:5)
