I have many memories of Bill from my youth. He was the cousin I always envied because of his astounding athletic ability. But we had so many good times in New Smyrna beach as a family. Later, when I was in the Navy, I paid a visit to Bill in San Diego. With that visit, Bill gave me a book that started my spiritual journey on the path to my conversion to Christ.
In the years since, he and I have had several deep conversations shared via email. It was always good to have the "meeting of the minds" that came with that.

So now I'm sure that as Bill has now stood before the Lord, he has heard the words "Well done."

I've attached some of the few photos I have of Bill during my family's time with him.

Bill was a remarkable disciple of God and a true friend. He was a Sunday school teacher, a publication writer and he no doubt helped many in their walk with the Lord.

We will miss his fine example,... his brilliance, humor, and care for fellow man. He was a loving husband to wife Kyle and father of their two girls. He always poured his heart into life and always sought truth and fairness in his endeavorsand relations. .

Bill and I enjoyed dirtbiking and boating together, as they were activities in his beloved outdoors, in which he was drawn still closer to God.

A fond memory goes back to his sudden interest in becoming a dirtbike rider... and when he asked me to help explain to his wife the many benefits of getting out on the trails with his buddies. Kyle agreed..and the next week, a shiny blue Yamaha was purchased! He once said his dad rode horses, so this was his way of recapturing that freedom.

We will miss you dearly and never forget you Bill.

As Bill's sister, I indeed have many memories. I have been so grateful for them. He was a wonderful brother from first to the last, and to that last a brave and very strong individual who fought hard for all the things he cherished and believed in. I will miss him dearly. And I cherish all the memories of him accumulated over a lifetime, including that radiant smile of his, and his willing nature to share so many of his gifts. He blessed my life and those of others in so many ways. I thank him for his originality of spirit, mind, and outlook. For these, I have been incredibly grateful, and I will always bless his memory.

I enjoyed a 60 plus year friendship with Bill spanning from elementary school at seven years old until the current year of 2025. He was one of my best friends with far too many memories to share just one. We prayed together many times, but I was fortunate enough to have said my goodbyes and pray over him the day before he passed. You were a good friend and person William. I am grateful to have known you and will never forget you.
