Christian Keynote Speaker at Bill Linn’s Memorial Service 

God and his timetables are not our own. His way are beyond our understanding, his methods are perfect, and His plan for our life is incredible.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11  

My dear friend went to be with the Lord this week. His wit, enthusiasm for life, his service in World War II in the Pacific, his heart, and his passion. I have heard it said many times that as we age, we become ever more like what we truly are. If this is true ten Bill Linn was indeed a great man. Though I have only was blessed to have known him since June 6, 2005, I have been able to walk alongside him during good times and in bad, in joy and in tribulation and yet Bill remained steadfast in his faith, undeterred in his journey and insightful beyond words. 

Bill frequently recounted to me the time when he met his wife of 50 plus years and consistently recalled with great clarity those beautiful legs. He had a sense of humor that was unsurpassed and appealed to all ages. Bill also would share of me what he would do when he would do when he got to Heaven. He planned to lay down by the still waters of the River of Life, under the shade of a tree, with a fishing pole in his hand, but no hook on the end. Bill enjoyed life, treasured it and enjoyed many deep friendships along the way.

Bill served our country when honor and valor ruled our land and integrity and a handshake were indeed a man’s bond. He is unequivocally a key part of the Greatest Generation. He is my friend and I will miss him.
