Jehovah's promises are coming true. Matt 19:26.
I thank Jehovah for the good example you've set for years and years.
Thank you for being you all this time. More to come. :)

Bill had a part on the American Sign Language , ‘Needs of the Congregation. ‘ His lovely manner of giving counsel, was so much appreciated❣️
He would get the point across, with firmness, but with so much kindness.
Laura-Andréa and I loved how he was a spiritual father to her. With his sense of humor, he was very encouraging. As an elder, and as a friend, he truly was a ‘gift from above’. ❤️

I keep thinking of Prov. 22:1..."A good name is to be chosen rather than wealth;To be respected is better than silver and gold". Everyone Bill met felt his kindness, warmth and personal interest. Bill and Lynda showed outstanding hospility and love wherever they could. 15 years ago I was a recipient of that great warmth and care. Catching up with them again down here last April was such a treat.. Such a sad time now but looking forward to tears of joy.
Much love from Ron and Gen to Lynda, Matthew, Austin and families.

Bill was such a gentleman. I remember in service he would open the car door for sisters. His love, care and concern for Lynda was such a beautiful thing. He was a loving, kind, gentle and humble brother. He was also a strong and courageous brother. He had the wisdom to know when to stand up for what was right even if he was in the minority to do so. He set a beautiful example. He will be missed only for a short time, because we will see him soon again. Our thoughts and prayers are with Lynda and the family at this very difficult time.

Andrew and I have so many memories it is hard to write them all …
Bill was so kind and welcoming when ever we would come to visit in Aptos .
He and Lynda always made us feel at home and part of the family.
His kindness reached our son Andre as well as he showed fellow feeling and treated him as one of his own.
On their recent trip just last year to visit us here in Australia,more memories were made .
Bill loved the bird life in our area and we spent many hours on our balcony watching and feeding a variety of birds ..
One day something amazing happened..
After hearing the call of a Kookaburra in the distance we looked up and suddenly this elusive creature was sitting right on the balcony railing !
NEVER had one of these majestic birds done this before !! Bill was in awe as he took photos of him just sitting on the railing like a statue !
Looking at Bill’s face …so excited and amazed at Jehovah’s creation was heartwarming .
We look forward to sharing more experiences like this one when we are together in the New World .
Bill…we miss him and loved him dearly .
Lisa and Andrew Antoniou

Luke 20:38 He is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to him. We will see your beautiful smile again just a little while longer.

Bill you are such a special wonderful friend . I can’t wait to see you again! Seeing you and Marco serve together in ASL was the first time in a long time I felt complete and with family. You and Lynda made everyone feel this way. You taught my husband so much and he is a better man because of your friendship. Thank you for that gift . We will wait along with your Lynda, family and friends until you wake up from your rest . Love always now ,until the new world and beyond
