God bless this man's family and comfort them in their time of grief. He was truly a great Apologetic Evangelist who loved the truth and the true Word of God. He will be missed. I just lost my beloved one and even though I know where she is it is still not easy to not be able to talk to my mother everyday. My prayers are with Bill's family!
