Sam had the honor of serving on several teams with Bill, both Tres Dias and Kairos. Bill had an awesome heart for God and a talent for music. A talent he (and Jo Ann) shared with Sam's mom when they were both in the hospital at the same time. He will be missed. But we rejoice that he is Home with his Father now.
