My deepest condolences to the Masters family. I went to Immanuel with Soonja, and Wendy was a Girl Scout troop leader when I went to day camp one year. May you have peace in memories of time spent together with Bill. -Michele Wessel Tarnow
To Wendy & the family I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I got to know him over the course of the last 15 years helping Wendy with her computer. Bill was a great man and always had a funny story or joke. I hope you are all comforted with Warm memories of him over the coming days, weeks and months! May he rest in peace! -Alex J Szmutko IV
