Bill
KGF Church
I was born in Saskatoon in 1931, lived in rural towns until I was 22, then moved to Saskatoon. I worked at different jobs, and started work for Canada Post in ‘56. I met my wife Shirley and we married in ’57. We had two children.
I was introduced to Jesus at an early age by attending various Sunday Schools. I came to Christ shortly after we were married, thanks to the influence of my wife and the church we were involved in.
We moved to Burnaby with my job and retired in 1985. We travelled all over Canada and all USA for 3 - 4 years and settled in Abbotsford. We moved to Winfield in ’95 and then to Kelowna after 7-8 years.
I volunteered to help in the kitchen at Eagle Bay camp for several years and now help at Gardom Lake Bible Camp which I enjoy.
We have eight grand children and five great grandchildren, who we love very much.
My favorite verses are Psalm 27.
