I just found out the sad news. Bill and I became friends in 1980. Over 45 years of friendship we had a lot of good times and thinking back now there are also a lot of good memories. Bill and Donna are finally together again.
Bill was a faithful part of Crossroads Ministries Saturday Evening service. Bill also volunteered every Wednesday with our maintenance ministry. This group did every kind of minor to serious maintenance or building repairs and improvements. Bill would do anything he was asked and only missed if he went fishing. Our church family will miss him. He was a joy to work with. Our maintenance group will not only miss him but find it difficult to replace his skills and talents.
Sincerely,
Pastor Jim
My brother is a diamond. He contained so many facets and was the most brilliant person. He only allowed certain facets to be seen by certain people and it makes me feel special to have seen most of them. He was a son, brother, grandson, nephew, husband, father, and friend. He helped raise me, taught me how to read and write, made sure I knew my Bible, and knew the lines to all the movies and the lyrics to all the songs he played. He made sure I read all the books he read when he was done with them, so I was the best read kid in sixth grade. He made sure that the music we listened to was good and it was loud, and he made sure there was never a movie that I'd ever miss. He taught me that when you drive, you drive fast. He was the first person to show up to help, and he made sure that tears were swiftly turned into giggles. He was my rock when I had fear. He was a builder and his mind was super creative. I watched him add to his facets as he turned into a loving husband and proud father. He made sure my daughters were treated as his own and made sure that their childhood was just as special as ours and were forever spoiled. I've watched this diamond sparkle my whole life and I feel so special and lucky to have witnessed and shared in the light of him. He will never be gone because he has left so many parts of himself in the lives of so many.
