Father’s Day Biopoem
Bill (James)
Generous, Outspoken,
Compassionate
Husband of Miriam, Father
of Cathie, Child of God, Friend of many
Who believed that Jesus
died for everyone, Who looked out for the underdog and the elderly, Who was generous
with his time and resources for the cause of Christ.
Who worked for
Western Electric Company, Who worked as a tax accountant and an auctioneer,
mainly because he liked to stay busy. Yet He never neglected his family or the
Lord’s work. Who enjoyed watching movies with his daughter especially in the closing months of his life.
Who feared that his
daughter would die as a result of a disorder with which she was born. Who
feared that his wife would die as a result of her heart condition. Who feared
little else as he stood for what he believed to be right.
Who, along with his
wife, opened his home to visiting missionaries and traveling preachers, Who
picked up children for Sunday school, Who opened his home to a Bible Club for
children
Who wanted to provide
well for his wife and daughter , who wanted to enjoy life by helping others,
who wanted to exalt Christ – as some of his last words were – “Let me go to Heaven,
because in my Father’s house are many mansions” and “I love you.”
Daddy
Thanks for the
memories --- Until then …
