Bill, a caretaker of God's majesty, farmed from the sixth grade until last year when he could no longer climb into his tractor. His life's work was the earth and he took his last breath looking at his crops.

His children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were his pride and joy. Bill and Helen loved having Sunday and holiday dinners where all were welcome. As the family grew, the time spent together was much more important to him.

He was preceded by brothers Charles Boller, Elijah Boller and Wayne Boller and sister Betty Williams.
Due to health issues Helen was no longer able to reside at home. he waited to take his last breath until his wife of 66 years was at his side.
He will be missed by all who knew him and loved him.
