Dear Glenna and Family,
I was sorry to learn of Bill's passing. He was such a wonderful servant for the Lord, and I so enjoyed watching him at church and see the glow that comes over God's children.
He was such a pillar for Oakland Nazarene, and always such a wonderful grandfather and "brother" to each of us in the church.
Thru the influence of you and Bill, I became more aware and very interested in helping Missions.
Look forward to going to Heaven because Bill is...

Glenna, Keith, and family:
My heart was saddened to hear of Bill's passing. But, at the same time I know that he is in the most wonderful place that he can be in. I will always remember the talks that he and I would have before and after church. I count myself lucky to have known such a man as Bill. I look forward to seeing him again one day.
