My prayers are with all the Hobbs family.
I played at Bill's house many times in grammer school and always enjoyed the outdoor nature he so loved. He never changed from his high school days. He stopped by to say hi about a year ago and was still the same nice, humble guy, as always. I will truly miss his easy going manner.

Like his other classmates, I have fond memories of Bill from grades 7 - 12 at MBA. I've only seen him once since high school, but that day he left me smiling and laughing like always. We will be praying for the family.

I am so sad to hear of Bill's passing. As his classmate at MBA, I admired him for his intelligence, honesty, independence and a shared love for all things outdoors. He was kind to everyone. My picture of him on the stage at an MBA assembly program handing Mr. Carter a trophy for winning a rifle tournament somewhere with his coach, Mr. Emmonds Woolwine, by his side. My prayer is that you are in the eternal place where the streams and rivers have no beginnings or endings, and the hills and mountains go on forever, and each new adventure is better than the last.
