Bill was a kind, gentle, most wonderful neighbor. I was Always happy to awaken to his joyful whistle and know that he was looking out for me and all of Town North. And I’m sure he is keeping an eye out for us from heaven. I know he derived strength and courage from his deep faith. Rest In Peace my friend.
I have known Bill for what seems like my whole life. I have so many memories. Being a kid and squeezing in beside him for his children’s sermons. Hearing his calming voice and knowing that everything would be alright...even during tumultuous times in my life. He officiated our family’s joyous occasions. Being so happy and surprised when in my young adult life he reappeared right when I needed him most. He gave the best prayers before meals. Having him sit with my husband and children always engaged and listening to the stories to we had to tell. Getting to have him at family gatherings to celebrate holidays. Joking with him about how much satisfaction we both got from vacuuming. Attending his 90th birthday bash. Having him tell my children how much he loved their great grandmother. Knowing that every time I got to see and talk with him, I was the only one in the room...how he made me feel that way in a house full of people always left an impression. He taught me that God is Love. He taught me that family is love. He loved me and I loved him. He made this world a better place and will be missed.

Bill was my pastor at Casa View Christian. I attended Casa View from the time I was 5 years old until I left for college. I loved both him and Marilyn so much. They had the kindest souls. They always had a hug for you and a smile to share. They were giving and selfless. Both him and Marilyn were such positive role models for the members of the church.
When I think of what a pastor should be Bill is the first person to come to mind. I have been to many churches in my time and none of their pastors will ever compare to Bill. A few years ago we had a flood at our church. We decided to go back to visit Casa View. I wanted my husband to see where I grew up. I could not believe my eyes when Bill walked in! I was SO excited to see him. I totally flashed back to the wonderful years I had under his leadership. I immediately ran up to him and gave him a hug. I was so thankful God placed me there on a Sunday him and Pearl would be in attendance.
Please know that I am praying for your families. I pray that you will find peace and comfort. He will be missed by many I am sure of that!
Doug and family,
As you said, your Dad ran the good race. His life was pleasing to God and a joy to those around him. He was always Uncle Billy to me and Cheryl and my daughters. His smile was ever present and infectious. I enjoyed talking sports with him when we talked on the phone. You don't know this but he took me to my first professional baseball game at the old Buff Stadium in Houston. The most memorable moment of the game was a foul ball into our section that Billy tried to catch bare handed. After the ball dropped to another fan, he said he wouldn't be trying to catch a baseball that way again.
Peace and grace be with you.
Kerry, Cheryl, Holly, Angie
Doug & family, I'm sorry for your loss. -Deidra Cunningham-
