My beloved Brother Knight. Bill was Past Grand Knight of K Of C Council 7086 in Paris TN. He was a holy but humble man. He was a retired music educator. At least eleven of his former students went on to become band directors. He taught me more than anyone, what it means to serve God. I know he is in Heaven, because he worked hard to get there, everyday of his life. I will always miss him in this life. Vivat Jesus Brother. We'll meet again.
