With deepest sympathy to Leah and family. I will never forget Chaplain Bill, and everything that he taught me in Bible Study class. I will miss him terribly, we all will miss him. Sincerely, Bonnie Warren.

Condolences to Leah and the girls on the passing of Bill. I can´t think of a time when I didn´t know the Henry´s.

Bill was my good friend.

Reflecting on that, it reinforces to me that Bill was always "Working hard". Most importantly, although not perceived as work, his love for family was foremost in his life; his passion and commitment to Northampton Campus, Bethlehem Campus, and ALPHA students was beyond the...
