Dorothy went to be with Jesus on June 7, 1989. Bill and Dorothy had six children, Linda Delores Kaer, of Wasilla, Alaska, Susan Marie Hammond, of Meridian, Idaho, Patti Lynn Mosback, of Vancouver, Wash., William M. Garwick, of Eagle River, Alaska, and Janice Rae Bothwell, of Portland, Ore. His son, Gregory Lee, preceded Bill in death in 1986. Bill was in the Army from 1943 to 1946. He served in New Guinea and Southern Philippines and then worked for National Cash Register for forty years, in Illinois, Calif., and many years in Oregon.

They went to Hawaii yearly and did missionary work in Israel on several occasions. He loved the Lord, going to church and their 55 Alive group. Everyone loved the pie man's pies. He and his pies will be missed. A celebration of Bill's life will be held at 5:00 p.m., at the Applegate Christian Fellowship on Saturday, May 22.
