The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow...

In my early career in the 1980s I had the delight of interacting with Bill in Central America -- at a time when fighting for freedom was not always fashionable. Also traveled with him during the post-military transition in Guatemala in 1985. An energetic man with a booming voice and a principled mind, I always knew that I could count on Bill. He made a big difference in many people's lives. A good man.

I have many fond memories of meetings at which he presided, retreats at his cabin, and conversations that were filled with wisdom and humor. The careers of many of his children, whom I have also had the pleasure of knowing and to whom my condolences go out, are also testimony to his values and legacy. He was a pioneer and will remain a...
