William Bradford "Bill" Marine

William B. Marine, affectionately known to most as "Bill" and known to his immediate family as "Papa", went home to be with Jesus, his Lord and Savior, on February 24, 2025. For days leading up to his homecoming, he was surrounded by so many who love him. For as much as he gave throughout his earthly life, whether it be unwavering love to his family, compassion to others, time and service to his community, generosity to the local church and to the Kingdom of God abroad, he received an overflow of love and thanks from friends and family in his final weeks on this earth. His family is deeply thankful that he knew and loved the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The knowledge that he spends eternity with the One who saved his soul, Jesus Christ, the One who prepared a place in heaven for him, and as He promised, came and took him to Himself, his family is overjoyed with thanksgiving. The grief we all feel is a testament to the profound affect his life on this earth was lived and the way he loved and cherished so many. But our rejoicing is in his salvation and eternity. Our rejoicing is in the fulfillment of God's promises to us. Bill stands, fully healed, fully restored, in the very Glory of God. This is the Hope we all have when our trust and faith is found in Jesus.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying:"Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."
