He was a very committed Christian who loved the Lord and volunteered his time and efforts as a bus captain and bus driver for many years at Buffalo Ridge Baptist Church where he was a member for over 50 years. Bill also loved to ride motorcycles and he taught his children how to ride and bought them all a motorcycle as well. He also loved to shoot guns and collect guns and he taught all his children how to shoot. He was unwaveringly faithful to his wife and family. He always took care of his wife in every way as she did him. They were soulmates. Bill never saw a stranger and was always using his time and efforts to help others. He always planted a huge garden and when he harvested the vegetables, he would supply family and friends with all they could eat. His love for Christ showed through his actions every day. His life has had a wonderful impact on so many people and He will be greatly missed.
