I have deep memories of a gentle soul with a strong faith in God, great strength of character, and loving empathy for all whose lives he touched. He certainly touched mine. May he reside in the house of God.

Bill was a man of strong Lutheran Christian convictions and had a tender heart. He read the Christmas story at Steve and Lana's home for the family this past December 25th with tears of joy and a quiver in his voice. Bill is crowned with glory in heaven by the grace of Almighty God through his Savior, Jesus! Jay and Leanne Bendewald

Uncle Bill helped me purchase my first transistor radio and he fixed our family's old tube TVs over the years. He had a talent for and interest in electronics. While I have never heard him sing, he often told me how much he enjoyed singing in the church choir. May you now sing in the heavenly choir.
