William was so very concerned for his soul. He studied and asked so many important questions, and it was a pleasure to visit with him and study God's word with him. On top of this, he was just such a nice guy to talk to and he had a great sense of humor! As a veteran, I am thankful for his service. I am sorry that he experienced so much pain and discomfort over the last year, and I am thankful that he is at peace. We will miss him very much.

William was an interesting man. His Faith and Hope was in Jesus Christ. At one time he traveled some to pass out Christian literature and tracts. He will be missed . Hostetler family
