I am so saddened to learn of Rev. Enderle's passing. I have thought of him often and wondered how he and Marilyn were doing. I never met a more caring and sweet Christian than Bill. He surely walked the walk and I know he is where he will be happiest. I will miss him and how good and wonderful he was with my mother, "she said, saying that being able to play the piano as the special music for church that Sunday was the happiest day of her life. You were such a good friend to my dad also and I know in my heart he led my dad to the Lord that one night in the nursing home when he visited him. He will always hold a special place in my heart. May the following verse bring you and the family comfort. What must it be to step on shore and find it-HEAVEN;
To take hold of a hand and find it-GOD´S HAND;
To breathe new air and find it-CELESTIAL AIR;
To feel invigorated, and find it-IMMORTALITY;
To sail from the care and turmoil of earth
To one unbroken calm;
To land there and find it-GLORY.

I love you.

To the Enderle Family (especially Chris and Bill), May God comfort you as you mourn. Bill was a respected neighbor, friend and pastor. He lovingly presided over Dad's funeral, and he was a part of all of our lives. The verse that comes to mind is "Well done, good and faithful servant" Matt 25:21 from Jean Hoffman, Connie & Mark Lamb & Rachel and Melanie, Bev & Bart Proctor & Sam and Kate. In tribute to Bill, a donation has been made to Gideon's International--to help spread the Word even further.

Such wonderful memories of Bill & Marilyn as my youth leaders growing up at East Milan Friends Church. Spending many Sundays hanging out on their farm on Rt 13. Remembering their group of friends - Wilcox´s, Westcott´s and Pedersen´s.
Peace and comfort to the entire Enderle family!
