In our times of fellowship on the train and after church, I heard stories of Bill's wonderful Children, his outreach an ministry to international students, and about his everyday life including creating stained glass.  

Bill passed suddenly and unexpectedly but his life is indeed a testimony of a life of godliness.  It's amazing that so many can testify to his life of service to the body of Christ. At his funeral I met international students, church members, table group members, friends, and family who all had experienced the Love of God through him.  His life is a reminder to live every moment for the Glory of God.

I'm happy and blessed to have known William "Bill" Watkins. from a night of worship (willow chicago 20/30's group)
