Hi Bryce,
This loss was devastating to your family, the community, and the church. In truth, this world is a lesser place without Bill Huff. His gifts to those lucky enough to have known him will never be forgotten; to each of us, he meant something different. Like a pebble in a pond, his ripples touched every shore, those close and those far off. The contributions made to care for those close and even strangers will never be forgotten. For those fortunate enough to call him a friend that impact is far greater.
I cannot imagine the pain you and your family are feeling. Your father was an angel for my family in more ways than you could imagine. In addition to the years of mentorship and friendship he shared with my mom, he was a beautiful touchstone for me as well. It's crazy to think about, but for almost 50 years he was part of my life. As I got older he became a friend, and I held that friendship tighter. I spoke with him just 2 weeks before the Lord called him home. I can hear his laugh. There is a void in knowing I will never share a laugh or speak with him again. It hurts. His bright light will forever shine in my heart.
We are so very very sorry for the sudden loss. Yvonne and James Cooper
Sending love to you and the family,
James and Yvonne
