Bill, I was devastated to hear you had left us. You were our class clown at DHS and I adored you. I never thought that graduation was the last time i’d ever see you again.
This planet needed all the people like you that it could get. You were the best of the best: smart, funny, and just plain good. I think that everyone who knew you came out of it as a better person. I love you. I hope all the best for your wife and kids. We will all grieve your loss throughout our lives, Bill.
Love you,
Amber Roderick

It’s been 15 years to the day since you left this earth, Bill. We continue to love and miss you as much today as the day we lost you. I know you’re watching over us though and that we will see you again one day. I’m also certain that you’re so proud of Lisa and the 2 most precious children she has raised. You left behind the best you had to offer the world in Alexa and Ben. Thank you for being the best brother in law and for just being you.

You know, I really wish I would have signed this a lot sooner. But for some reason, I was compelled to seek this website out and write something.

It's been nearly 4 years since we lost Bill, and honestly-- it never gets easier. I was prompted to write this after visiting Lisa's class room and seeing the very picture of Bill that is on this site. Lisa, Alex, and Ben have been such a blessing in my life. As well as Bill. I find Lisa reminding me of what Bill would do, or what Bill would think, and it always puts a smile on my face.

Bill was one of my biggest, and earliest supporters. He always said that he wanted to be my angent, or lawyer, when I made it big. And now that I live in Hollywood and I'm trying to achieve all the things that Bill and I used to joke about, I can't help but wish that Bill was here to see it through. I wish he was here to see his family, and friends, and loved ones. But I know he's smiling down upon us. And it comforts me to know that.

Lisa, Alex, and Ben-- I love you so much. I can never tell you this enough. You seriously are a blessing in my life. I pray for you all the time, and I will continue to until the day I die.

Lisa...after the months that have ticked off praying and wanting the best for you, I was drawn to search out the obituary of Bill's. He always brought a smile to my face and was one that whatever you were doing would jump in and help. I can't believe that he won't answer the phone when I call or call me 'loser' ever again. He was so much of a 'brother' to me when we worked at Tech and also was such a sweet heart because of the way he loved you. The many times he would just burst out in laughter over the slightest thing will ring in my mind forever. When he helped me up off the floor when I fell out of the chair will never be forgotten...only because he couldn't stop laughing. He was such an enjoyable person to be around. I love you, Alexa and Ben and pray that God has given you the strength to continue on your way. God Bless you! All my love, Deanna

Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss and my delay in sending a note. I can't imagine what you have been through and please know that I have thought of you often since January. I am sure the days have been difficult for you and your sweet family. I have recently moved back to Russellville so if you are ever in the neighborhood give me a call. I would love to take you to lunch. God Bless! Sandy (479-967-3730).

Dear Lisa, Alexa & Ben, I had the priviledge of getting to know Bill while serving with the 431st CA. Bill was a great soldier, a great man. He was always eager to serve and to lead. Bill was a patriot, always eager to serve GOD and Country. He was a warrior. Always going toward the sound of battle, rather than recoiling in fear. Please rest in knowing that your husband/father was a man who was devoted to GOD, Country, and Family. I pray blessings upon your family. Billy D Brown, SFC, USA Ret

Lisa, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during these trying times. Bill was very special to us and he will be deeply missed. He lived life to the fullest and was always the life of the party. His insight and opinions were always enjoyed in any conversation and usually brought much laughter. We were always impressed with what a great father Bill had become and I always admired that quality in Bill. He loved Ben and Alex so much. He was so proud of his family. Bill will always be in our hearts. We love you.

Lisa Wells

Wednesday, January 19, 2005

Lisa, You and your family have weighed heavily on my mind and deeply in my heart. I had only been around Bill a very few times but always thought he was such a nice guy. I have always thought so much of you that I knew he had to be pretty much perfect, just what you deserved. Those few times that I was around the two of you, it was more than obvious that you were God’s perfect match, He certainly knew how you would compliment one another. He certainly knew that you would share your love one for the other, we all saw it. I was more than amazed to sit and hear so many heart-felt and sincerely spoken stories of such a wonderful and courageous man. It is not often that a man of Bill’s age is such a Christian example and testimony to so many people and a positive impact on so many lives. It sounds to me as if many people will see Bill in heaven thanks to The Message he shared so openly, so willingly and so proudly. Wow, what a testimony. A man described as this could only have loved you the only way he apparently knew how, with a pure and genuine love. Just as Bill was so honored and respected at his service, you too stood tall and proud with such grace and dignity. I am amazed at the grace you always show. Many of your dearest friends, out of very sincere love for you, are worried about you and how you will go on. I say, you are such a strong and courageous woman yourself and that you have been blessed with the Christian-legacy of a great man, a legacy you contributed to and now will carry on in your family, in your children. I know too that you also have the same spoken-of qualities as Bill and that you will look to the Lord for peace, peace only He can provide. I am thankful for the special friends and family that God has provided for you; by working through these people, He will see you through this. Just as so many have promised, I am here for you in any way that I can help. I will be praying for you and your family. Love, Lisa

He is our rock, our shelter, our comfort. Always know the Lord will only give you what you can handle. Bill was a friend, a co-worker, but most important he is a brother in Christ. He fought the good fight, finished the race marked out for him, and now enjoys eating from the Father's table. I will always be grateful to have been able to spend a small window of time with Bill. The Lord will comfort you and your children and we will all get to see Bill again in heaven. Please know our prayers are with you and we Love you very much. God Bless and make us all fishers of men!!!!!

Dear Lisa, I personally don't know you but my husband Trevor Drown was in Guard with Bill and like everyone else thought he was wonderful. My sister Jana Beth Cochran went to Dover and graduated ( I think ) in Bill's class. I knew of him through her, and hey were friends always the studious ones, And I know your precious sister Cathy, she does my hair and how I found out about Bill. Our hearts our broken for your loss. There are no words to help this pain, I lost my precious sister 11 years ago she was 24, cancer took her. Like Bill she was to young and it was to sudden. You think you will never smile again, but then you do because God has a plan we do not understand. Your family is in our prayers. God Bless you in this tragic time and give you peace.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Lisa, Alex, and Ben during this difficult time. Bill was a special person to many people. In the time that we've known Bill, he was always positive and upbeat. He never failed to have a kind word for anyone. He was most proud of his two beautiful children. Whenever he spoke of them, you could tell he was so proud. I remember him telling me that the first time he saw Lisa, he knew he was going to marry her. Like everything else he put his mind to, he did just that. Throughout their marriage, his love for her never wained. We will remember the campouts and boat trips forever... staying up late and listening to his stories and observations. He was never at a loss for words or an appetite. Words are insufficient to express this loss. He was the greatest friend a person could have. He was our friend, and will be missed dearly.

Lisa, I just heard the news and it saddens me deeply. One of the attorneys in the Federal Defender's office -(Kimberly Witherspoon went to law school with Bill) -happened to mention the accident, and we put two and two together. You may not remember me, but my son, Wesley, was in your pre-school class at Fair Park Elementary. I remember your grace and strong faith in God during that time, and you must know that he will carry you and your wonderful children forward. And you have got to believe that Bill is in a better place. You and your family are in our prayers.

I am deeply saddened and sorry for your loss. I am thankful that I was home to be of support with "the gang". I regret that I never had the opportunity to get to know him. I feel very inspired by the life he lived for God and his family. I recently read a verse and thought of you. ISAIAH 41:13 says, "For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.' " Lisa, Alex, and Ben you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

How fortunate we are that in our hearts we keep forever the memories of those we love and the time we shared together. Lisa, may you feel the warm embrace of loving memories and hear happy echoes of the good times you and Bill shared together. I hope these words can comfort you in some small way as you try to get through this. Please call me if there is anything I can do.

Bill and I qraduated together in 1988. Although he and I were not what I would call "buddies", I consider him one of the most true to heart, friendly, and not to forget funny. It was almost time for our 20 year high school reunion and I have no doubt he would have been the same as he was way back then. He I was always the brighter bulb in the group. I am so sorry for your loss. It must be hard to lose someone that is such a good person ; that he still has people that haven't talked to him since high school miss him. That is a testiment in itself to the great guy he IS. God bless, Paul Newport and family

Lisa, I cannot begin to tell you how deeply saddened I was by the news I received Saturday night. I have done nothing but think of you and your family since then and pray for you. I hope you know that even though I haven't been the best to keep in touch - I have never and will never stop thinking about you and your family. Our prayers are with you during this very difficult time and I hope that you know that even though there are miles between us, I will always be here for you. Our thoughts and prayers and love are with you.

My first memory of Bill is when he and I became friends in the fourth grade. I remember Bill as chubby kid (it was apparent then that he enjoyed eating :)) that was a friend to anyone and everyone, especially to someone that was new to the school as I was. Although we’ve remained friends over the years, we haven’t spent as much time together as I wish now that we could have. There were a lot of things about Bill that I wasn’t aware of until I heard the wonderful stories during the service. While sitting on a flight yesterday, my thoughts were on memories of Bill. I began playing music on my pc when a song came on that brought tears to my eyes (My Old Friend by Tim McGraw). I had tears in my eyes and a smile on my face as I remembered Bill laughing as he always did; one hand on his mouth, the other on his belly giving it his all. Although I was unable to stand up during the service and express my thoughts, I believe this song is appropriate for what I want to say. Here are a few verses from the song: … My old friend, I apologize For the years that have passed Since the last time you and I Dusted off those memories But the running and the races The people and the places There's always somewhere else I had to be Time gets slim, my old friend Don't know why… My old friend, this song’s for you Cause a few simple verses Was the least I could do To tell the world that you were here Cause the love and the laughter Will live on long after All the sadness and the tears We’ll meet again, my old friend Good bye….

Thursday, January 13, 2005

Lisa, I will never forget the night Bill proposed to you, it was clear that he ADORED you - it just radiated from him! You were matched perfectly, and it was apparent that his love for you only grew as the years went on. And yes, he really was the favorite husband when our gang got together...I think he knew that too, and was pretty proud for it! Bill was clearly a one-of-a-kind guy. And one we wish there were 200 of to make the world a better place. He was a "giver", just as Jesus has called us to be. I feel he will continue to give - as others are encourage to be better servants of Christ due to the impact he had on all of us. You surely must know how very dear you are to me, and I will absolutely always and forever do all things I can to help you through this difficult time. I wish I could soak up even a portion of the ache you are feeling, because it is clear that your heart is heavy. Lean on our Christ as you have in the past, He will cradle you in His divine and irreplaceable comfort and direction - you know that. In time God will see you back to a heart full of joy, and Bill will be pleased to see it. Alex and Ben, you will always have your Dad with you, I see him in each of you already. I know he will be watching you both with beaming pride in the years to come. My love to each of you, Davina

I loved cooking for Bill! Whether it was a hamburger off the grill or something a little more gourmet, Bill took such pleasure in every bite. That grin of total contentment is etched in my memory. Bill, if possible, I bet you enjoy the food at the Lord's table even more!

Bill was on my military Civil Affairs team which went to Ft. Polk, LA in Aug-Sep 1994 while doing some very intensive training with the 101st Abn Div. He was a truly superb soldier throughout that time and I am so sorrowful to see that he has now passed on. Bill was a great guy and a true soldier for America.

Dear Lisa, I never knew you or Bill in college, but I knew of both of you. My wife Gayla (formerly LaRue) went to school with Bill in Dover, and says he was an all-around good guy. Having 2 precious children, and being in the prime of our lives, we can't imagine your loss and how much your hearts must ache. We know there are no words to console you right now, only your knowledge that the Good Lord will not burden you here on earth with more than you can handle and the faith that He will get you and the kids through this difficult time. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. The Fairchilds

Lisa, All your friends in "the gang" will deeply miss Bill--he was our favorite husband. When we would get together at your house, he just wanted to be one of the girls. He made everyone around him feel special. Charisma in spades!! He even liked me--a democrat! I'm so sorry and will do anything I can for you, Alex, and Ben.

Jan Gooch

Thursday, January 13, 2005

The part Bill Pusch played in my life was that of son-in-law, and he was as perfect in that role as he was as a husband to my precious Lisa. Bill first had love for and faith in Jesus, our Lord, love for his family, integrity, character - all the "good stuff" that a mother hopes to see in the man who marries her daughter. He had the ability to make us all laugh, which is one of the greatest gifts. Bill gave me a wonderful compliment when he once told me that he actually "liked his mother-in-law". He always made me feel welcome when visiting, and while I was there for an extended stay during Lisa's cancer treatment, he and I enjoyed staying up late every night watching the special war series called "Band of Brothers" ..... with snacks, of course. Bill's energy was boundless, his capacity for optimism limitless and his zest for life contagious. We will miss him as long as we live on this earth, but we know that he lives today in paradise and that we who share his faith will see him again there.

Tommy and I are so sorry that you have had to experience the sudden loss of Bill, your life's partner and your children's dad. We can truly empathize with you after our loss of Mike. There is a line of a song that says, "One day at a time sweet Jesus." If you will remember this, things will slowly begin to fall into place. After our experience, we probably know a lot of the questions that keep running through your mind. Some of the questions will never be answered but most will. If we can help guide you during the days and weeks ahead in any way please call us. The door to our home is always open to you, Alex, and Ben. As we told you Tuesday, the "upper deck" is available any time. We do not need much notice. We love you and will be here for you.

Lisa I am deeply saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. Too many of my ATU friends are passing. However, I know that the grief I feel must pale in comparison to what you and your family are going through. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, Bill and your family. Though I have not seen Bill since leaving ATU, I have thought of Bill many times over the years. Now that my thoughts once again return to Bill, two things come to mind. One, his sense of humor. At times we would get on some silly train of thought and get to laughing so hard that I would cry and my sides would ache. The second is that he also had a sincerity about him that I found humbling. I always had the feeling that he knew some secret about life, and that if I could just figure it out I would be a better person. I miss him.

Tim Griffin

Wednesday, January 12, 2005

I just wanted all of you to know that Bill really impacted my life. I didn't get to talk to him much or see him much because I lived in Washington D.C. most of the time I knew him, but he was a great friend, and I will miss him always. You are in my prayers. Tim Griffin

Lisa, You and your kids have not left my thoughts since 9 pm Friday night, when I checked my messages. I wanted you to know that the memory of Bill--his smile, his welcoming personality, and his sense of humor, will never leave me. He will live on in my heart, and the hearts of so many who loved him. And there are sooooo many people who absolutely loved Bill. I was blown away at Bill's memorial service by the number of people who didn't just "know" Bill, but were his true friends. His friendship will be missed by so many! Please know that you are a strong woman and that God will give you the strength you need to get through each day ahead. I'll see you soon and will be praying for you and the kids. Polly

Wednesday, January 12, 2005

To Lisa and Family, I just wanted to drop you a quick note. I dont know if you remember who I am but when I was brought back to Yellville full time I was placed in Bills department as part of a Consumer/Commercial Loan Officer training program. I know that I didnt hang out with you all after hours but I just wanted you to know what Bill's friendship ment to me. He was not only a co-worker or a bbq grill mate he was a friend, well what I would consider a best friend. He was always there to help me out when I was down and when I needed to make a personal decision that dealt with my life. Bill was not only a positive impact on my career but he had even more of an impact on my life. Having said all that, I will miss his true friendship and compassion to be a true friend. I just know that the first time I see him again the first words out of his mouth will be "you big fatty!" You and the kids will be in my thoughts and in my prayers. Sincerely, Tommy Dorsey Assistant Vice President Arvest Bank NCA

Lisa Ben & Alex - Sorry I didn't speak at the funeral, I wanted to but I was scared. I just wanted to say that Bill was a great guy and a great uncle and he always made me happy when he was around. I remember when my parents were yelling at me for being on the computer and Bill came in after they were done and he said "don't worry about that i think thats cool", and it made me feel alot better. He was always so giving and so happy and kind to everyone and I'm sorry I didnt say that at the funeral. Love you guys

Lisa, Alexa and Ben. Scott, Tom and I are heartbroken over your loss. Bill was a wonderful man and he deeply touched so many lives. The messages here and the stories told at the service are evidence of the rich and full life he led. He will be missed by all who knew him. I hope that you can find peace in all of your happy memories and lean on each other when times are hard. Know that he suffers no more the pains of this Earth, and that he watches over all of us now; expecting us to do better and be better people. His passing will inspire us to live our lives as he did; to trust in the Lord and to treat everyone as a friend. God bless you and please know you will remain in our thoughts and prayers. With much love, the Coopers.

Lisa my heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to you and your family. I only knew Bill for about a year and half but considered him a best friend. He was truely a joy to be around and touched everyone that had the privilage of knowing him. Alexa and Ben-the LORD says in Philippians 4:13. "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Your dad approached each day like this and blessed each person he came in contact with. I know he would want you to do the same.

Lisa: You and your children are in Kim and I's thoughts and prayers. Most of us go through life and are lucky to have a few friends who truly love us. Bill had countless, as was evident in the service yesterday. He was one the best people I have ever known in my life. He was truly one of the best friends I have ever had, and I will miss being able to talk to him. He is an example of what any man should strive to be. Please let us know if there is ever anything we can do.

Lisa, We love your family with all our heart. Your children have your strength and courage. Alex has been absolutely amazing. (Just like her mom!) Just always know you can count on us for prayer, support, and lots of love. We will celebrate the memories of Bill forever. He was a wonderful, warm and loving man. We remember talking to Bill this summer, all he could say was how much he loved you and always had and always will. We know you are touched by the out-pouring of love from all these friends and family. What an extraordinary man Bill was! My favorite verse is this...Proverbs 3:5- Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding but in all your ways acknowlede him. Now more than ever we all have to trust and continue to grow in faith, just as Bill would have wanted. Anything you ever need is only a phone call away. We love you, Alex and Ben and we truly loved Bill- always.

Donna (Hamilton) Kennamore

Wednesday, January 12, 2005

Lisa, Ben, and Alexa, The support that you obviously have is such a blessing! So many kind words and prayers have been sent your way, and I know these must be comforting to you...if not now, but later! I would like to give you a visual that will be comforting as well. When my daddy went to be with Jesus, one of my students in my first grade classroom drew me a picture. The picture was of my dad in Heaven. The angels and Jesus were throwing him a party. One of the captions read: "Yeah! Another person is in Heaven!" He had also drawn a big "boom box" playing music. He made a point to show that it wasn't "plugged" into the wall...because "Everything in Heaven is magic" is what he had written beside the floating plug. As the song says "I can only imagine"...Can you imagine the PARTY they had for your fun-loving husband? Lisa, we are praying for you and your precious children! Love, Keith, Donna, Charleigh, and Emmaleigh Kennamore

Lisa, I can not find the words to express how sorry and saddened we are by this loss. I will miss that grin and the 'hey loser' greeting he always gave me, always with a hug. I cherish the memories of us sitting by the campfire, smoking cigars and listening to hours of stories. Please know we have loved you and Bill for as long we've known you and we'll continue to love you both always. Layton and I have always thought the very best of Bill and of you. I feel we have been honored by being a part of your lives. I wish we had more time to all be together. Alex and Ben, your daddy could not have been more proud of you. I know he loved you with all of his heart. You both made him so very happy. The service was truly inspirational. Lisa, you were amazing. Alex you said all the right things. You touched everyone with your words. My sister Heather and her husband JJ send their deepest sympathy and wanted me to let you know they are thinking of you all. Lisa, Alex and Ben, we love you very much. Layton, Robin, Isaac and Lily

His classmates and I miss him so much. He is such a blessing to have in class.

Lisa, I am a member of Junior Auxiliary, but I'm not sure that I have gotten to meet you face to face yet. I hope you know that you are not alone in the moment of need. Most importantly, you have the Lord and you have all of us to lean on and depend on. Whether it is a need of your children or your own. I'm sure you have no idea what those needs are of yet, but I and any others in JA will be there for you and your family whatever may come up. I love you as a sister in Christ and a friend in JA. Sincerely, Joy Gaston

Lisa & kids, I went to highschool with Bill. He almost always had a big smile on his face, he brought out the best in everyone around him. He could be so serious in one minute and in the next be the biggest goof! Lots of great memories. I'm proud to have been his friend. In the sad times of life, it's part of God's plan for friends to help friends any way that they can. May you find strength in your faith, comfort in God's love, and peace in knowing your friends are praying for you. In deepest sympathy, Leslie

Monday, January 10, 2005

Lisa- The first of August my precious husband, Bruce, flew to Jesus.We have three little ones. When the numbness wears off the heartbreak starts. This is a hard walk- One we did not plan. God writes beatiful stories, even in sadness- Look around you- family and friends- They were all put into your life for a reason- Let them hold you, let them make you laugh, let them protect you. Everything Bill did. I have and will continue to pray for you- May God lift you up and give you the strength and courage you need to be the woman Bill loves and the most awsome mom- that your sweet babies adore. may he lift you up. I remember playing Barbies with you at the apt complex when you first moved to Russellville- I wish we were there now. Stacey Rose Daughtrey

Dear Lisa and family; I cannot find the words to describe how sorry I am about Bill. I was shocked and deeply saddened when I heard and I haven't stopped thinking of all of you since, especially you Lisa. I know you possibly are still in shock and functioning on adrenaline right now but I would like to tell you it gets different, even after the shock wears away. Each day you will move in a positive direction, even though you may not feel it happening, your light will shine again. Then, one day, you will wake up and will realize just how far you've come. I truly mean that. Please know you can call me anytime and I mean anytime about anything. Your children will be a guiding light for you; it's amazing how much strength you can gain from them. God bless you and your families during this very tragic time. All my love to you all.

Dear Lisa, Ben, and Alexa I went to high school with Bill and when I heard about this tragedy, I began to pray for you immediately. There is a verse in the Bible, Isaiah 41:10 that came to mind. I pray God will wipe away every tear from your eyes. I know Our Heavenly Father will cradle you and your children in His loving arms during this time of suffering. I am sure Bill is with our Lord right now and blessing Him with his precious smile, that he blessed us with whenever we saw him. Your Friend in Christ, Dana

Alexa, Everbody at school misses you. Sorry that I couldn't come to the visitation. All of our friends have formed prayer circles. Guys and girls. There has been a lot of crying. Everybody has been really great, even though you haven't been there. How's your Ben? Put it this way, God choose him. Remember that everything has a reason, and one day God will tell you that reason. Everyday we'll form prayer cirlces until your back at school. I'll always be there for you. Through thick and then our friendship will never end. I really miss and I know you'll overcome this. Alexa, he's in a better place now, Heaven. Everyone's been really worried about you. Well I have got to go. See you soon. Love you, Lacy

Rodney and Audra Benham

Monday, January 10, 2005

My deepest regrets to Lisa, children, and rest of Bill's family. It was my privilege to have Bill as a brother in Lambda Chi Alpha. Bill always had a smile and a good time to go with it. We shared a many of good times together and as I look back at some of the funnist times of my college days,well... Bill was right there. I know that none of this makes any sense to us right now, but we are unable to look at this through the Lords eyes. God says that all things work out good for those that love the Lord, and I'm sure that if we could ask Bill right now he would tell us that they do. Your family will be in our prayers and if there is ever anything we can do for you please feel free to call. Sincerely, Rodney and Audra Benham

Sheila Colclasure

Monday, January 10, 2005

To Bill's family, and mostly his little children Ben and Alexa. Bill and I officed beside each other at Acxiom for a long while. Everyday I enjoyed Bill's shining personality, devotion to his precious family, sensational wit, buoyant optimism. He was a delight. Ben and Alexa, though you will not have Bill's physical presence in your daily lives, I know he will be intervening from heaven and watching closely over you. When you've grown all the way up and reflect on your daddy...you'll appreciate him even more, how thankful he was for you both and what a tremendous, tender, righteous person he was. He touched, in a powerful and positive way, every person he met. But was dedicated to his family...his children most of all. Sheila Colclasure a fan of Bill Pusch.

Major David C. Kamka

Monday, January 10, 2005

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones. Everyone that knew Bill can appreciate and empathize with your sadness and loss. In the time I was acquainted with Bill, I found him to be an exemplary Christian gentleman, thoughtful, considerate and of good cheer. The deep affection he held for his family was always evident. While the phrase is often used, it is very appropriate when speaking of Bill to say that to know him was to immediately like him. I will personally miss him, and keep him my prayers.

Susan Billingsley

Monday, January 10, 2005

Lisa, words cannot express the sadness I feel for you, Ben and Alexa. My heart is broken for you. Bill was such a sweet, humble, fun loving, gentle man. Things I remember about Bill - his smile, his sense of humor, his healthy appetite, his extreme love for God, his willingness to lead others, his humble spirit. One thing that stands out in my memory of him is that he was so concerned with learning new ways to share the love of God with those around him. I remember him saying so many times in Home Group...I love God, but I also remember that he was never afraid to say... I love God, but I don't get this or that. I love that he was willing to lead, but at the same time willing to admit that he did not "get it all." It makes me happy to know that now...Bill, "get's it all." Ben and Alexa, your daddy was such a kind and loving man, as you already know. Keep him in your hearts ,and know that he always loves you. Love, Susan

Jason Taylor

Monday, January 10, 2005

My deepest sympathy. I've known Bill for quite a while. We served together as specialists in the 431st. We parted ways when I went Active Duty. When I came back, I ran into him again at Acxiom. We worked together on the Legal Team. He then came to the 90th JAG office where I worked. Bill was always comical, and kept a smile on everyone's face. I'll miss him calling me a "Slacker". He was a great friend. We'll miss him greatly.

Danny & Lynn Moye

Monday, January 10, 2005

Dear Lisa, Alexa and Ben, We just wanted you to know that we are thinking of you and keeping you all in our prayers! What a privilege it was to know a man like Bill-always smiling, so kind. We will continue to be in prayer for you and for Bill's family and friends. Love, The Moye's

Steven Young, Jr.

Monday, January 10, 2005

In the short time that I've had the honor of knowing Bill, I think the the thing about him that touched me most was his concern for others. He used to sometimes run the sound board at church and after rehearsal we'd head for the donuts and coffee! It was comfortable to talk with him about almost anything. You knew he wasn't judgemental and seemed to "understand" what others were going through. He had a great concern for my son who had enlisted in the Navy and always asked how he was getting along. Jesus said that we are to "rejoice at a Funeral and weep at a Birth." Jesus knew what was beyond this life, because he had been there and remains there now......with Bill! I cling to that verse in this situation because I have comfort knowing where Bill is. I pray for Lisa, the kids and Bill's family and I hope that in the near future their sorrow and grief will grow into the joy knowing that we will see him again in all our futures!! Love, steven

Jennifer Duran

Monday, January 10, 2005

Lisa, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your dear husband and father of your wonderful children. I know the days seem unbearable, but believe me, it gets better. We lost Mike almost 2 years ago now, and I didn't know how I could move on. But we have. Have faith and know that you, Alex, and Ben will be ok. You have such precious memories of Bill, as everyone that knew him does, and remember you will reunite again . You will find so much comfort in your kids, as I have found out. They have been my strength. Keep your head up and remember not a moment goes by that I am not thinking of you. Love, Jennifer, Will, and Katie

My heart goes out to Bill's family. I had the honor of serving with CPT Pusch while I was at the 90th RRC in Little Rock. Not only was he a fine Army officer and attorney, he was a humble, yet engaging person, whom I considered a good friend. Bill's passing is truly a loss to the United States Army and the Judge Advocate General's Corps. My thoughts and prayers are with his family - may God bless you and comfort you.

Julie Storie

Monday, January 10, 2005

I had the privilege of getting to know Bill when he married Lisa, one of my greatest friends. Bill always made me, and all of Lisa's friends, feel so welcome when visiting their home. He was always so hospitable and made us feel so comfortable. He always made us laugh and kept us entertained. Bill had such a magnetic personality and such a love for life, especially for his family. Lisa said Bill was always "right with God," and she felt like he had a divine purpose here on earth. He fulfilled that purpose, as it is obvious by the lives he touched in so many special and different ways. We are all richer by knowing Bill. Lisa, we all love you, Alex, and Ben and will be right by your side.

Wisdom- "the quality of utilizing knowledge and experience with common sense and insight." If you were to dicsribe this man without publishing an award winning biography, (Wisdom) would be one of the most used words. Lisa, Bill and I very are close as you know. Although miles apart, we are with in inches in spirit. I am sure that I can speak for allot of people when I say "A big reason why I am the man that I am today is because of the impact Bill had on me while I was groing up". Alex, Ben I first met your father when I was a few years older than you Ben. He is a very honorable man somone you should always look up to. I can not thank him enough for what he has done for me. Lisa I do realize that you are a teacher so please do not pay no attention to my grammar or spelling. However I do believe that we could all write a novel with a topic of this man. Please do not hesitate to contact my wife and I for anything at all. (501) 812-6686 -Kit

Monday, January 10, 2005

Family of Bill Pusch, Lisa and children, My deepest sympathies during this time of loss and morning. Bill was a wonderful person with the best heart of any man I've worked with. He was always a pleasure to have around and will be truly missed. When I think of Bill, I think of his joking and laughter and silly army stories that would make us all roll as we set under a pavillion between classes or on a break during drill weekend. Back then we were all specialists in the 431st Civil Affairs Bn. He will be well remembered, as will his family. I wish I could make it to the funeral but regret that I will not be able to attend. I will send a donation to the charity requested. All my sympathies, love and prayers. May God be with you all. Sincerely, Cheryl (Minton) LeMoine.

Lea Watson

Monday, January 10, 2005

Lisa After spending time with Bill you could see what made you fall in love with him. He was loving, caring, gentle and kind. Bill was the perfect other half for you. He completed you nicely.

You, Alexa and Ben are in our prayers. We love you all. Scott & Lea Watson

I look forward to seeing you again Bill where we can truly walk in the light of Christ. In ZAX Jeff Johnson Phi Zeta 266 Lisa, you and your family are in our prayers.

Lisa, Words can't express how deeply sorry I am for you and your family's loss. I will continue to pray that the Lord brings you peace and comfort. What a smile Bill had!! Tonight Heaven will enjoy one more lovely soul.

Lisa, know that our heart is broken for you right now. We loved Bill, as well as you and your children. Your family inspired us, and moved us more than any other at Saddle Creek Church. Bill does not battle diabetes any longer, but is in heaven because of his faith in Jesus Christ. I praise God for his life, and his ministry to us as we adjusted to Arkansas. David wrote, "Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for you (God) are close beside me." God is with you in this time. You have our love and sorrow...Arnold & Cathy Chavers

i have never seen such an outpouring of love for one single person! Bill's life touched everyone he ever knew well or had just met for the first time.He was not only my brother-in-law, but also my good friend. He never met a stranger and always made me and everyone else comfortable with him and themselves. I could sit here and write for hours and do nothing but smile while doing it,but I mainly want to let everyone know how much I appreciate all of the love, food,(boy did Bill love to eat! He'd be right here loving this!),every single trip back and forth to my sister's house,(you all know who you are!)but most of all,the funny stories that you can share with me,my family,and mainly my sister,Lisa. She is my best friend and we will all get through this together holding eachother up in thought and in prayer.please don't forget the happiness that a card in the mail or a phone call days and weeks later,even months later can bring to Lisa, Alex, and Ben can bring.God has truly blessed us with family and friends like all of you.THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Oh, by the way, Bill wanted me to say,"hey loser!" and then give you a hug.

I worked with Bill at Acxiom for a number of years. We are deeply saddened by this loss. Bill was a wonderful man. He was always helpful and serving. When he left Acxiom, we were disappointed but happy for him to advance his career. We will pray for his family due to this tragic loss. I know Bill was a believer, so we will see him again. May God comfort each of you during this time. Remember the good things about Bill. He was a wonderful man!

I hired this young man when he was fresh out of Law School. We had so many good times, along with the hard work, in the then TCBY TOWER in Little Rock. I always admired Bill for his absolute dedication to his wonderful family and the common sense he exhibited in all areas of his life. I know he was a devoted husband and father. The memories are many. Farewell, Bill Pusch, you made a difference for the good things of life. I know from our many conversations that we shall meet again someday in Gloryland...

Bill was the best friend I had. There is no replacing him. With his sense of humor, he would find it amusing that I am at a loss for words. I will see you on the other side, buddy.

Bill had a sense of humor that everybody loved. We enjoyed eating lunch in the breakroom at work because he found something funny in everything. He always kept us entertained! I will never forget his laugh. He was so polite and and helpful to everybody. He had an appetite like I've never seen before! I never could figure out why he didn't weigh 300lbs! When I think of Bill I think of him eating fried chicken with salt and dipping sauce every day. When he ate the chicken he then cleaned his plate with his fingers! He never left a grain of salt or dipping sauce! He loved to eat! He will be sorely missed by us all. The bank will never be the same again....
