Bill remains in our hearts and our memories Hugs to Sandy and family

Sandy and family, we were so saddened to hear of Bill's passing. We had such fond memories of times spent with you and your family when you were in Burgettstown. Bill was an amazing Pastor and friend. Keeping your family in our prayers.

To sandy and Bill's family, my deepest sympathy and condolences I learned so much from Bill, his passion for the lord came straight from his heart. His love and compassion for people was never ending. I remember talking to Bill when I was going through my darkness days, having him baptize me was so incredibly special Bill's memory will never be forgotten.

Sandy, We are so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. He was such a blessing in our lives while he was the pastor at Burgettstown and even afterwards. We learned so much through his sermons and teaching. We thank God for both of you and your presence in our lives.

To Sandy & Bill´s family, our deepest condolences for your loss but we all take great comfort in knowing that Bill is a resident in the House Jesus had prepared for him! It was under Bill´s pastoring that we came back to church after a long absence and reunited our relationship with the Lord. He was even the one to baptize Rick - which will always be a special moment in his christen walk. Thank you Bill and God Bless - Till we meet again! Rick & Cheryl Brillhart

Reverend Martin will forever be in my memories and his sermons will always repeat in my mind from growing up at Northeast Presbyterian Church. He was was always a very compassionate and caring man. He was always there to mentor me as a pastor growing up. I believe that he is now in heaven giving sermons to all of mine, and your loved ones that have gone before us. Love and prayers and condolences to all of the family. Sincerely, Alan and Tiffany Robison, and Family

Sandy, so sorry to hear of Bill's passing! I so enjoyed seeing and talking with him whenever you came up to Safety Harbor church. He was such a blessing! I also enjoyed see him at the ABBA tribute concert at Ruth Eckerd recently - he was a great fan of ABBA! Even though I know he is safely home with the Lord, we will miss "Mr Bill".

We still have fond memories of our friendship with your family after all these years. (Cedar Creek, church picnics, our trip to Israel to think of a few.) I know Bill will be greatly missed by family and friends. Our prayers are with you at this difficult time. Love, Brad and Jan Scott.

When Bill was our interem pastor at Ephrata Washington he took a study leave at our cabin in the mountains!! We had a great week with t your dad!
