Bill’s was a life filled with love, joy, and laughter.

Family and family friends were everything to Bill. From camping in his backyard fort with the grandchildren to his amazing food and fireworks display every 4th of July, Bill loved nothing more than being surrounded by the joy and laughter of others at his home. Everything Bill did was for the church and people he loved. His kind and gentle spirit has blessed us all.
