We are going to miss our dear friend +Bill 1. Heaven bells are ringing today to welcome him home.
Bishop Bill touched so many of us with his quick smile and hugs,to the help of the Ordination to deacon, to the Consecration to Bishop for + Bill 2. He has left a empty space, but we will see you again .

Dearest Bishop William Swyers was a great man with a wonderful sense of humor. He drew people to him with such ease. As a priest in the Catholic Charismatic Church, he brought many to God. I know that God will enjoy +Williams presence as much as we did because his talent came from God and his work reflected Gods gifts. We will all miss you my old friend as I write you this loving goodby.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bishop Bill at the Catholic Charismatic Church's Clergy Weekend last year in Syracuse. We will miss him.

"Wild Bill" or "Big Bill", as he was lovingly known to us his fellow clergymen, was Bishop Emeritus for the Diocese of Saint Anthony, Catholic Charismatic Church. I personally had the privilege of being his friend for nearly ten years. One could easily live a lifetime and not encounter a kinder or gentler soul than him. You will be sorely missed my friend, please pray for us.

His Grace, Bishop "Bill" will long be rememberd for his kind heart and loving disposition. He was such a blessing for so many of God's children.

He now rests in the arms of the Father, rest in peace beloved servant. WE love you.

King Lion Bill was a great and generous man. I never saw him without a smile. He greeted everyone with enthusiasm. He worked on so many projects that benefitted our community. He continued to give of himself even as his health was failing. KL Bill set an example of service and friendship for all of us. We will miss him so much.
