Bill worked and retired at Reynolds Metals and proudly served his country in the U.S. Marines. He was a longstanding member and deacon at Center Star Baptist Church and was an example of Christ’s love of others. He enjoyed studying his Bible and taught Sunday school for many years. Bill was a Godly man who loved his family and cherished time with his grandchildren. He was deeply loved by his family and friends and will be sorely missed.

The family would like to genuinely thank the nurses and staff at Hospice Amedisys and his sitter Martha Townsend. We would also like to thank everyone for each act of kindness shown to our family during this time.
