I'm so thankful I got have Bill as my stepdad for 30 years; he walked me down the aisle and was a wonderful, loving grandpa to my kids. I'll never forget when he grabbed a sled during one Maine winter and showed the grandkids how to sled down a long hill... this was just about 15 years ago! Bill was a one in a million and I"m thankful that he up in Heaven with his history heroes, his family, and with our Lord. We love you always, Bill!
Blessings of strength and comfort to you all. I will greatly miss working on our genealogy online. I am thankful for his time serving this country, and have heard how he had continued to visit my mom in the nursing home, making the long trip repeatedly. My heart is heavy.
Even though I didn’t get a chance to know Uncle Bill. I was able to learn about they family . Over the past few years I truly came to understand what compassion for others really meant. The world truly lost a great man, father , father, uncle and husband. Heaven just got a lot brighter.
Bill was a great man, I had the privilege to work with him in his later years at Cornerstone Church. He was the ultimate volunteer, his only pay was lunch with Randy.
He worked hard to always have everything ready for everyone to do their jobs. And when he stopped working we all felt a major loss, and quite honestly we could not find anything anymore
He came to know Jesus late in life and just wanted to learn, he went to every service he could.
I will say it again He was a great man
