It tells of a heartbreaking experience that resulted from changing occupations, which he felt was God’s leading. Bill was raised in Missouri but spent a great deal of his life in southern California and in the Northwest with his wife and four children. Bill lost his vision to macular degeneration in 2004. He did beautiful oil paintings previously but continued to paint with just a smidgen of peripheral vision in his left eye. He also taught tap dancing to a group of fifty- to eighty-year-old ladies and performed with them; they were called “The Tap Grandmas.” He and a partner also performed in Christmas musicals at our church. Bill was a musician, artist, faithful Christian, and loyal friend--and is so missed.view less
