His passion and love for his family was matched only by his love for Christ. He served as Pastor of Set Free Ministries in Townsend since 2018.
Bill's heart's desire was to love others and to share the same love and hope he had found in his relationship with Christ with others.
He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle and pastor.
His love for life and for others touched the heart of everyone who knew him.
He will forever be in our hearts and never forgotten.
