He then taught Industrial Cooperative Trades at Canyon High School from 1980-1991. Bill was a talented wood carver, story teller, fisherman, all around craftsman, and loved traveling the states. He loved working on his family genealogy and meeting distant relations. It has been said by those close to him, that there was not one negative thing to be said in regards to his character. More than anything, Bill loved sharing the gospel of Christ. He preached at Faith City Mission, served as deacon of his church, and took the gospel to many lands. Special thanks are extended to his best friends Jimmy Marrs and Gary Jones; also to Dr. James Martindale, Dr. Kevin Raef, Dr. Eric Cox, Bob Thomas, Odyssey Health Care, and especially Ramona Pike. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
