I had the pleasure and challenge of serving as Bill´s & Harriette´s pastor in Wilmington,VT for 10 years. Bill would laugh at my use of the word "challenge" because he would use the same term to define me. And after that we´d both chuckle in the way we approached life but with feet anchored in different soil. At the same time we embraced a shared, deeply held attitude of care and concern for others. Serving the area as a State Representative he did it with remarkable joy and intelligent vigor. He loved to wrangle our differing approaches to issues even as we shared a common humanity. Bill added a bit of spice to every conversation. He could dissect most any issue with discerning awareness providing wise insight to all who entered into conversation. A gentleman. A public servant. A conversationalist. Bill helped our area to more fully interpret who we are as Southern Vermonters and his genuine friendship...pure gift! Celebrating Bill and the legacy he now bestows on all of us.
