My condolence to the Brewer family and friends. Psalm 119:50 says " This is my affliction for your sayings has preserved me alive."

We met Bill--regrettably--only a few times and only briefly. But it was immediately evident in conversation that he was a giant of heart, mind and soul. An exemplary model of kindness and robust spirit. Fair winds and following seas, Bill.

We lived in Galesville for almost 20 years, and were lucky enough to have had Bill's friendship. He greatly enriched our lives. Our world is emptier without him.
