William D. Bathurst

Even all these years later, following Dad's passing, I remember how secure I felt under His and our Mom's care and direction. I couldn't have asked for more than what they gave and poured into me and my sisters, Bonita (Bonnie) L. Taylor's and Leah Barbara Battaglia's, lives. We were so blessed to have him and our precious Mom (Gwendolyn L. Bathurst) leading us through our formative years...and through our adult years (when asked). I KNOW that they are both in Heaven. Praise God!! Dad...

Mrs. Bathurst and family,
We were so saddened to hear about the passing of Bill. We came to know Bill and Phil over 4 years ago when we became Penn State season ticket holders. Bill had decided to sell two of his season tickets and those are the tickets we purchased. He was so happy to see that some good people got his tickets. He and Phil always stopped at our tailgate in the morning if they could and we became real good friends. My wife Jeannine held a special place in her heart for...

Dear Gwen, We were saddened to hear of Bill's passing and want you to know how sorry we are. Bill and you were so instrumental in our salvation and will never forget it. He was a wonderful Godly man. Blessings to you and your family and may Our Lord's promise of eternal life give you comfort. In Christ, Bill & Natalie Rutecki

Mrs. Bathhurst and family, please know that we sorrow and rejoice with you at the home going of Mr. B. He was one of the true men of God that we looked to for an example of love for others and country in the time of our growth at BBC. Our prayers are with and for you all.

Dear Mrs. Bathurst,
Many memories came to mind when we read about your loss. All those great times on the baseball field and the many hours working for him in the registrar's office. We will always remember his "wild and crazy" pants along with his sincere love for his God and country. God bless.

To the Bathurst Family, in particular to Gwen, Bonnie , Roxanne, and Leah:
Please accept our heartfelt condolences to you on your loss of Bill. Darline and I have so many fond memories of our years as neighbors in Lincoln, NE. It's been our privilege to have kept in touch over the years. May the Lord comfort you in this sad time with the sure knowledge that eventually you all will join him in heaven!

Dear Gwen and family, So sorry to hear of Bill's homegoing. We know he is happy with his Savior up there with Him in Penn State blue and white.

To Bill's family, I'm so sorry to learn of your loss. He and my husband had so many great conversations. We looked forward to seeing our football fan friend.

Bill was a great man, we emailed almost daily mostly about politics the Air Force and of course Penn State Football. We shared our thoughts about our belief in GOD and I know Bill is reaping his just reward with our father in heaven. We pray for his families peace and comfort that can only come through their faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
