Pat So sorry to hear of Bills passing. He was kind and such a gentlemen. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to teach with him at CCES. I will always remember his smile. I don't think I ever saw him without one. He was an encouraging coworker and frequently had a thoughtful compliment to share with me as well as others. Prayers for you and your family as you mourn this loss. May you find comfort in God's promise of eternal life and peace, now that Bill is rejoicing in the presence of his Savior.

PAT I remember Bill and I coaching our daughters to many wins in softball. And golfing with Bill many times. Most of all I remember what a calm Christian man he was. A blessing in my life.
