Bill and Lucy were the very first people to approach us "newbies" when we came to North. They would seek us out each week, asking how we were doing and how were the kids. They always had a smile on their face and made you feel right at home. The wisdom Bill had, the Scripture he could interweave in talking to you was amazing. You really felt like this is what Christians are supposed to be! He will be truly missed.

Bill was a spiritual giant that the Kipp family considers a tremendous privilege to have know and served with at North Baptist Church. His strong Biblical teaching, his leadership in AWANA, his wisdom as a Deacon, his deep concern for the dissemination of the Gospel, his example as a quiet, disciplined gentlemen and a prayer warrior and memorizer of Scripture, his consistent warmth and friendship were a treasure to us. When in his 70's, he went on a wilderness canoe trip in Canada with the Youth Group, a trip that has daunted much younger men. He befriended our nephew and ever since has consistently prayed for him and inquired after his spiritual well being. Bill will be much missed and long remembered.

Bill's glorious countenance will be a sweet memory of him. Surely it was the light of the Lord from his regular time in the Word. His mastery of the Word of God and his prayers told of his close relationship to Christ.
Some more memories include his never ending burden for the church's young people. Years later he often would ask how each of our children were doing and by name also.
Bob remembers when he and Bill drove to the ABWE headquarters in Pa.to clear some land by cutting trees down. He was amazed at Bill's skill felling trees at the exact spot he had planned......except once, when Bob had to run for his life!! Bill wore him out with his amazing energy.
Bill was an amazing example of a servant of God and of man.

Dear Parsons Family,
Bill was a special man and dear friend. He prayed regularly for me and I extremely appreciate that. Bill often quoted scripture and had a ready smile. He was a great servant of God who ministered to "kiddos" for decades well into his 80's. Bill Parsons leaves and incredible legacy of faithfulness and commitment to Jesus Christ, his wife Lucy, his family, and all who knew him. He will be remembered as a very, very special person. "Wherefore, being compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses...looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith." Hebrews 12:1, 2, fits as a testimony of Bill's life for us who are still here.
Sincerely,
Dan Woodward

We want to express our love for you and to rejoice with you in Bill's homegoing.
Throughout these last many months of Norhthridge prayer requests on your family's behalf we have tried to bring you before the throne of grace, many times.
We received an email from Stefan yesterday which said,"I spoke at a men's breakfast today on Ps.71:17,18 and used Dad and Bill Parsons as examples" Then I came home to learn of his passing. So sad.
The passage says,"O God, from my youth you have taught me,and I still proclaim your wonderous deeds.
So, even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come."
This truly describes Bill.
In Christ
Bud and Carol

To Lucy and Lynn, this is Diep Chu, Thong Tran's daughter. My mother has a room kitty corner from that of your husband/father. My condolences on your loss. I will never forget the times Bill was at the same dining room table with my mother in B unit. Last memory with Bill is when he asked me to return a pen borrowed from Maurice, a health aide, and checking with her to make sure the return was done. With a wave and a friendly smile, he would gently acknowledge me as I joined my mother at the dining table. Indeed a fine gentleman.

My parents began attending North Baptist Church after I went to college, but I did visit during college vacations. I do remember Mr. Parsons very well. His signature bow tie made him stand out, but it was the light of the Lord shining in his face that made one take notice of him.
In more recent years, I have re-met Bill at the Ambassador Class August picnics.
Mr. Parsons would warm you with his smile, which was infectious, but he never failed to take the opportunity to say a word about his Lord.
I suspect that he has found many waiting for him in Heaven who are there because of his faithful witness.
Another saint of God promoted to Glory.
