Bill loved to hunt and go to the gun range. He proudly served his country in the United States Army. Bill enjoyed going to men’s prayer group, joking around with people, and always had fireball candies to share.
Carol was fond of garage sales and thrifting. She gave many hours to sharing the gospel and ministering to children. One of her favorite projects was Operation Christmas Child through Samaritan’s Purse.
They were married on September 18, 1965, and both will be remembered for being kind and friendly. They enjoyed gardening together and praying for others (even strangers) at every opportunity. They were concerned about others and even today the question is “Do you know Jesus as your savior?”
