Uncle Bill

Someone once said that what we want to be when we are old we must start now. I have always admired my mother's brother Bill. He was a quiet and godly man. He loved the land (he was a farmer) and the Word (he was a lay preacher). He was a loving husband (he always said he got his education by marrying a school teacher) and a loving father (he had two daughters who are missionaries). Who should be emulate? How about my uncle Bill?
