From The Staff
To say we
will miss him is such an understatement.
If you knew Brother Bill at all, you know what a presence he was.
Always full of life and twice as big.
When he walked into any room he immediately became the center of
attention.
His love for
people was real. Though his
manner could be rough and gruff, his heart was a big teddy bear.
Walk in his office with a problem and you had come to the right
place. He would find a way
to help.
When he came
to us in March of 1992, we had no idea what a ride we were in for.
His vision for our church knew no bounds.
Because of his dedication for spreading the love of Jesus he lead
us into the River Ministry and building churches on the border.
We also built a large education building for a orphanage Bro.
Bill had worked with in Juarez.
Our crew built homes for some who had lost theirs in Hurricane
Rita. We began working with
Texas Baptist Men on Disaster Relief and have sent people all over the
United States and to countries all over the world to help those in need.
Our
relationship was a personal day to day one.
No one could ever claim to have a boss like ours.
He loved us, he looked out for us, his door was never closed to
us. He was there for us
through marriages, births of children and grandchildren and the always
mounting anniversaries. Even
more he was there in the hard times, right by our sides through losses,
problems, and heartaches, we never walked alone.
Our “Staff
Meetings” consisted of Bro. Bill coming from his office and sitting down
in the outer office, we would call the guys in and there we would visit
and laugh through Bro. Bill’s jokes and stories for an hour or two.
Only occasionally would more serious matters be discussed.
Working with
Bro. Bill was an adventure that he promised would never be boring and as
with all his promises he certainly kept that one.
We will miss him more than we can possible say, but he will
always be in our hearts.
Your staff
Paula, Zanna, Lori
