Bill and Marian were married in 1952 and the same year accepted the call to pastor Grace Bible Chapel, where they faithfully served the Lord for 40 years. During those years God blessed them with seven children. Upon retirement they spent 10 years in a "Ministry of Encouragement" to missionaries, serving under Pioneer Missions, and Wycliffe Bible Translators. Bill has since been given the title of Pastor Emeritus at GBC.
