Russ Harvey My prayers go to the family at this time of grieving.
My fondest memory of Bill are his visits to my home when I was on peritoneal dialysis awaiting a kidney transplant. On one of those visits Bill presented me with a copy of “My Utmost for His Highest” that I still treasure today.
Sorry for your loss Aneka. May William RIP. His suffering is over. Love Mary Anne and Bob Krmpotich Sault Ste Marie Ontario
