March 08, 2017 Bill will be missed by all who knew him. He was always there as a friend and willing to help everyone in anyway he could. His support to our old high school class is unmatched. May our God give peace and comfort to his family. ~ Jim McDonald, Williamsburg, Virginia
He will be missed. I have
such fond memories of going to visit and hearing him tell stories
from all his research on the family tree.
~ Bonnie Kerschner (Lutz) March 08, 2017 W.D., you will be missed. I remember as a little girl sitting and listening to all the fascinating stories you would tell of our family history..... ~ Amy Zuck (Lutz), Wellsboro, Pennsylvania March 08, 2017 W.D. was a special Classmate of the NNHS Class of '57. His dedication and hard work will definitely be missed. He was such an interesting person to talk to as he lived a very different and interesting life. He was involved in so many things. He was a good friend and I'll miss him very much. May God give him divine peace. ~ Patricia Beck Letzinger, Newport News, Virginia B ~

Onward Christian Soldiers
Words by Sabine
Baring Gould in Church Times, 1865
Music (St. Gertrude) by Arthur S. Sullivan, 1871
Onward Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banner go!
Chorus:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before!
2. At the sign of triumph
Satan's host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
On to victory!
Hell's foundation quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise!
Chorus:
3. Like a mighty army
Moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.
Chorus:
4. Onward, then, ye people,
Join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and Honor,
Unto Christ the King;
This thro' countless ages
Men and angels sing.
Chorus:
