Remembering Bill's Dad Today


A most amazing man...Rev. William Edward Akehurst...today would have been his 72nd birthday! He took his flight to Heaven on March 1, 2006 and that left a void in our hearts that only Jesus Christ can fill...especially on special days like today. I cannot begin to address all his life accomplishments so here is the link to his obituary which is posted on the family business website at...

He would be so proud of how his three sons, Bill, Brian and John have stepped up to fill his shoes in the numerous areas of his very productive life! He was a man who planned his work and worked his plan in a time concious manner. As one who is challenged in that area...I really admired that about him. He was a man of consistency, integrity and faithfulness. He loved his wife, family and friends and had a contagious laugh!

I like to think that God let him know how Bill has endeavored to see that the ministry to the elderly at the Harford Seniour Housing Center and the Billy Graham TVTM has continued on. Had he seen it here he would have been very pleased to see the legacy of faith and business ethics transition to next generation of Akehursts! Proverbs 3:5 & 6
