......my "ex" father-in-law. Bill and Jackie have always exuded kindness and forgiveness. Bill was a sweet and gentle man. I wish that I could have been part of one of his hymn sings at the fair. Although he is now glorying in the Presence of his Saviour, he is missed and grieved by all who were his friends and family. A sweet, sweet Christian man.

Aaron Bev Cari and family. My prayers will be with you. Being so far removed from the area I didn't know that Bill was not well. Although I have not seen him for years, I do remember him as being a great person and godly man. Many must have prayed for his healing, my pastor would say now that he has been healed to perfection, we just can't see it, but through faith we can know it.
May our loving Lord give you the comfort, that is much needed at this time.

David and Karen,

I will always remember being a teenager and visiting the Wasson home. One New Years eve we had a party at their home for the teens. Bill and Jackie stayed up with us and watched the ball drop. Most parents would have gone to bed long before midnight. Bill and Jackie were always accepting of the teens as they were and never expected us to be anything other than teens. Bill will be missed. OUr thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family.

Jon & family, please accept our sincerest condolences. From all you've told us, your dad lived a full and happy life. If we knew nothing else about him, knowing that he raised a son of such character would tell us everything we needed to know about him. Your family is in our prayers, my friend.
