children: Karen Hart, Kathleen Taylor (Jeffrey Taylor), and the late Laurel 
Hart 
After re-devoting his life to God in 1995, he married Sandy Spence, with whom 
he cared for and was cared for until his final days.

nuclear armaments through the Cold War. 
He was awarded numerous awards and medals, including The Distinguished Flying

stories with those that would listen.

Bill re-committed himself to Jesus in 2010 with Lakeshore Church, with whom he 
held membership.
