Bill was an Eagle Scout who received his Bachelor's, Master's and Juris Doctorate degrees from the University of Florida where he served as President of the Florida Blue Key. During the Korean War, Bill served as a research psychologist.
Bill practiced law in Tallahassee for 38 years, including terms as a small claims judge and as a federal magistrate. He loved people and viewed his work as a practical way to show the love of Jesus to others.
His passion was for serving God and he did so as a Gideon for over 40 years, a lay preacher, and following retirement, as an ordained evangelist. Bill loved people, delivering Bibles, and preaching in many foreign countries.
He is survived by his beloved Karen, her daughter Michele, his grandchildren Ashley and her husband Stephen, and Brittney, and great grandchildren, Tyler and Andrew; Bill's son Bryan and his wife Gisela, his grandchildren Christian, Benjamin, Sammy and Camberley; and his sons Beaty, Blake and Brent.
