Bill was a great man, always with a quip and a smile that never failed to put you at ease. Big hearted people like him seem from another time, I´m glad and fortunate that he was in mine.

Bill was an inspiration to me whenever I had the privilege of being with him and receive through the grace and wisdom of the Lord.

Billy white shoes is what I called him,he wore these white patton leather shoes,he had dinner with us a number of times,my boys were little and Bill was king of the kids..He had extreme insight and and knowledge.Bill mentored me and his words to me were,flood your mind with the knowledge of God..Words that are etched in my mind,till this day.

I will never forget all what you and Ann did for Vicky,my daughter, and me when we stayed in your home. Bill, you introduced me to Reform thinking. May the good Lord with Whom you are now abundantly bless you.
