He served on the church board for many years and also was an active member of the Gideons. He loved sharing his faith and distributing the good news of the gospel. Bill was also a wonderful recorder of the family memories. He was always behind the camera. He loved his family and wanted us to remember all the good times we shared together. Music spoke to his soul. He loved raising his voice in congregation or choral music and even made his own on his old guitar and harmonica.
