Rebecca and I have just heard of Bill's going to be with the Lord. He was an encouragement to us and an example of a man who had a heart for God and his family. Barbara's and his volunteer missionary service in Alaska and around the world was a blessing to many. We are thankful for the privilege of knowing him.

I am so sorry to learn of Billy Ray's passing. He and I were accounting majors at MS State together, and lived in the same boarding house in Jackson for a while. I really enjoyed his company and listening to him tell funny stories. He looked forward to weekends when he could get in his "Bucket of bolts" as he referred to his beautiful Buick and go see Barbara. Was thinking about him and decided to do a search, and now I am sad. My condolences to all the family.
