My husband and I met Bill on a tour of Italy in March 2016. He was part of our tour group and he was travelling alone and we befriended him, and shared breakfasts and dinners and had a wonderful 10 days as part of our group. I found him so very gentlemanly, courteous, sincere and very interesting to talk to. He did tell me about his wife Betty passing away. I was amazed that after our Italy trip he was going on to Greece for a cruise and another tour. One thing he did not tell us was that...

The Wightman Family,
Pastor Wightman held marriage classes for my husband John and I, performed our ceremony in 1976, baptized our three children, Jason, Andrew and Janelle. He was more than just a great pastor he was a great person, always available when we needed him. He was a great asset the the Christ Lutheran Church family, learned well from his predecessor and friend, Pastor Molenhoff. He has completed his journey home, God has received another Angel! Rest in Peace .

Dear Paul, Beth and family,
I am so saddened to hear of the news of the passing of your father. I met your dad back in 1982 when I was preparing to get married and join Christ Lutheran Church. Your dad was a big part of my faith life-- marrying me and George, baptizing all my children, and my pastor and dear friend. Although I've not crossed paths with your dad in quite awhile, he remained in my thoughts and prayers. He was so committed to serving and helping others and set a great example...

Deepest Sympathy to the Wightman family. The Pastor held marriage classes for us and married us back in 1977. He also baptized our girls in 1979 and 1981. He was a pleasure to be around and taught us a lot about marriage. We are still married today 41 yrs later. So sorry for your loss.

Sincere sympathy on the passing of your father. My mother was Irene (Mrs. David) Adams, secretary at Christ Lutheran Church in Easton and both Bill and Betty became good friends. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Paul, Beth and Family,

It is our thought to express the deepest sympathy to all of you.
We always appreciated your father's intellectual conversations with hope and encouragement.
Also, Carolyn revered his thoughts as a member of the class of 1961 at Muhlenberg College.

God Bless

Paul,
I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your Dad. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
