His most requested songs to sing were "Midnight Cry", "Leaving on My Mind" and "From Heaven's Point of View." Bill would drive miles and miles if someone needed prayer, he never shied away to tell someone about Jesus or to pray with and help someone who was struggling in life. Many times, Bill and Sharon provided shelter for people who expressed a desire to get help from addictions and wanted to get back on their feet.
Bill's message was simple, "Be Ready," we are living in the last days and we can either go by death or Jesus could come at any moment, but no matter what, make sure you made things right with God.
