Kathy & Boys,
There are so many great memories of Bill. The one impressing fact is that they all contain your whole family. That says a lot about a man. He was loving, caring and selfless. He is now sitting with his Father and I am excited for the day I will see him again. God will take care of you during these trying and difficult time. He promises that to us. I love you and I am always here for all of you.##imported-begin##Matt Houseman##imported-end##
Dear Kathy and family,
I was shocked and saddened when I read that Bill had died. He was a great mentor to me at Oakridge Adult Education. I was asked to teach parenting and adult education classes. Parenting classes were easy for me since that was my major, but the Adult Education curriculum was all new. Without Bill's help, I would never have "made it".
I remember the good laughs we had together those 3 years we worked together. Bill had a kind heart. He would even clean my car off during the winter months before he left for the day.
I pray that you will all feel God's presence during this difficult time and will lean on Him in the future days for strength.
I will always have fond memories of Bill.
God bless you,
