Billy Frank Luginbill

Our friendship with Lucy and Bill began when we met because we lived in the same apartment building in Riverside, CA. We learned that we had both just gotten married and they were married on August 13, 1965 and Don and I were married on August 20, 1965, just one week apart. When Bill and Lucy moved to a house, we found one on the same block. Then a year or so later they moved to Barstow where Bill got his teaching job. We also had our first and second children just a couple months apart in...

When I think of Bill, it´s through the lens of a husband to LucyHe was so loving of her but he also put her into some interesting situations because of his love of the outdoors and adventure but my friend Lucy, in true grit would rise to the occasion....camping trips off the grid... They seemed to be opposites but were really soul mates, with a love for adventure and making dreams possible. God blessed their union with loyalty and deep faith. Bill was a loving husband, now he´s resting in...

I can´t remember a time in my life where Bill,Lucy and the girls weren´t part of our family. He had the best stories. I loved that he and the gang (including my dad, Duane Garner) were always hunting, fishing, driving to Hermiston or planning a new adventure! He will be so missed by so many people. Blessings to his entire family

Best basketball coach and teacher I ever had. He was the most caring man and had such a great sense of humor. He knew how to go with flow but also keep us on track. He will be missed.

Thanks for being such a great guy and for the friendship with my family when we were just kids and new in the area. You will be missed. -Lance Groom

Blessed in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints. While probably not a saint in the strictest sense of the word, this retelling of Bill´s life was so filled with humor it helps alleviate the sorrow of his passing. With deepest condolences to the family from an old Barstow friend class of `61.

His sense of humor was outstanding always a hit in the old teachers lounge. Love ya Bill you will. Be missed

I CALLED MY 1ST HUSBAND LEONARD PURDY A WHILE AGO. HE'D HEARD BILL HAD DIED & TOLD ME HE'D GONE TO SCHOOL WITH BILL STARTING FROM KINDERGARDEN UNTIL THEY GRADUATED IN 1960. HE DOESN'T HAVE FACEBOOK BUT HIS WIFE PAULETTE (DOUGLAS) PURDY DOES AS DO OUR KIDS. PRAYERS FOR LUCY & ALL OF HIS/THEIR FAMILY. AS A 47 YEAR CHRISTIAN THIS MONTH (ME) KNOWING BILL WAS A CHRISTIAN BLESSES ME & I'M SURE LOTS OF OTHERS TOO. SHERYL (HOLLAND, PURDY) BERNASCONI.

I remember Bill as a fellow History Classmate and Graduate of the Class of 1965, California Baptist College. I remember him also as a member of the Lancer Basketball Team.
