Dear Ann and Family,
I only found out today, through a mutual friend, of Bill's passing. I am so saddened by the news. Bill was a wonderful asset at First Congregational in Beloit while he was here, and has been a steadfast friend to me and my family in the years since he went to Bethany Union.
I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you and Bill in my prayers. You will see each other again!

It was with great sadness that I learned of Billy's passing. Although I have not seen him in years, I recall him as being full of life and vibrant. Please accept my deepest condolences as you attempt to deal with this grave loss. I lived on Parkside Ave. (way back when). I can still see Billy walking down the street as a little boy. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear Ann, We are so sorry to hear about Bill. What an immense loss to you, the community and all who knew and loved him. We couldn't have accomplished all the good things we did for so many years in 22 without Bill's help. I will miss his emails. His love for you, animals and our country will be unsurpassed. I know he stopped at the Rainbow Bridge on his way to Heaven. Ann, you are both in our prayers with love.

Dear Ann, Joe and Melissa, Rita and Bill and family,
Words cannot express my sorrow at the loss of Bill. He helped so many throughout the course of his life. He has been my true and lifelong friend and married Pat and I 32 years ago today! He ministered to so many, was one of the best preachers I ever met. He was kind, intelligent and always went out of his way to help others. God Bless you, Bill. You will be sorely missed. I know Heaven is rejoicing tonight.
Love, prayers and tears,
Maurita Gavin and family
