I got to thinking about Bill Robertson one day. I researched and ran across this obituary. He baptized me when I was 13. When I was 16 yrs old in the 70s I ended up in a rehab. Bill visited me once a week. He was so cool and down to earth he was easy to talk to. We would talk a while and end with a prayer. Bill I'm now 65 and those memories stick with me. You inspired me to grow and be a good person ty.
