The sweetest man, the kindest heart, the most beautiful marriage I've ever seen. He only loved Jesus more than his wife...but it was a close call! We will see you again Bill but until then I know you're hanging out with Jesus and making Him smile, your life was the most beautiful example of kindness I've ever seen.
Thank you Bill and Anita!
What a life well lived and loved! Our family enjoyed the blessings of being life long friends with Bill and Anita and their children ! There are so many memories and stories that all make you laugh and shake your head! The cabin in Maggie,the ski trips to Colorado, the flights to the Bahamas, (landing in a torrential rain storm) the Dolphin games in the motor home!!,and boating around the waterways of Ft. Lauderdale! Oh yes, and his experience of Big Foot picking up and throwing him and his pick up truck off the mountain in Maggie Valley that put him in the hospital for two weeks!!!! All of us who knew and loved Bill have no doubt their own heartfelt hysterical stories, he was that kind of guy ! He had the perfect wife who loved him unconditionally and was adored by his children of all generations! Bill was generous with all he had , and he had a great love for the Lord . He was loved and will be missed by many, forever. Rest In Peace ( if that is possible!!)
Debi, Paul, and Katie Pronyk
Sending prayers and thoughts to you all....remembering all the amazing experiences at NCC, the trips out west and all the shared times with the girls!....even the babysitting for Jeannie while Beth went with us to the west coast! Great family times with you all!
Rest in peace Bill, I remember camping out in your backyard and we ate snook and lobster that we cooked on a grill.
Lobstering in the Keys.
That's when I knew Bill liked me. As we were speeding through the channels, mangroves on both sides, doing about 40 miles an hour in the Robalo when he decided it'd be funny to push me off the side of the boat... when I stop skipping along the water like a rock he turned around laughing harder than I ever seen him laugh giving me hell about my long hair and how he pay me to get it cut... C-ya when I C-ya Bill... Luvya Papa Bear!
