Bill’s Faith has turned to Sight.
Bill was more than my brother-in-law. He was my brother in Christ, a partner and fellow minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and my friend. Bill modeled a life devoted to his natural and spiritual family, fueled by a passion to bring as many others as possible into His Father's house, going into the highways and byways, compelling them to come in. He did not faint at getting into the trenches with those who were downtrodden or oppressed, always ready to roll up his sleeves and help them through the messy stuff of life.
Now Bill has finished his race and is experiencing the fullness of Jesus' words to His disciples: “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also." John 14:1-3 (ESV)
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 NKJV

Uncle Bill you truely where a pure heart. I will always cherish and hold you in my heart. From the crazy road trip to the family reunion to the times we talked on the phone you always made me feel closer to God when I was around you. Love Carrie Jean
I remember Uncle Bill for always being there for people. He was always kind and patient with me and I remember him teaching Sunday kids class for the home ministry we were in. I remember him coming to events when he could when I was in high school like basketball games and my graduation. I remembering him for helping in any way he could and being a consistent example of having faith and persistence. Love you Uncle Bill! I know your in a better place.
Bill & I shared many walks in WA State before he moved to FL. This photo was taken at the Des Moines Marina.
