Lt. Colonel William A. Bamford, Jr. – Promoted to Glory

A glorious homecoming took place for Lt. Colonel William Bamford who entered his eternal rest from his home in Badenton, FL. He was a wonderful Defender of the Faith who loved and served the Lord with all his heart. Even during his illness, his beautiful spirit and faithful witness to the Lord’s faithfulness brought blessing and strength to all. The arrangements are still pending and will be sent as soon as confirmation is received.

Please pray for his dear wife, Joan, and sons, Major William Bamford, III of Cleveland, OH, Jeffrey Bamford of Everett, MA and Donald J. Bamford of Nokomis, FL, and several grandchildren.

We will miss this good friend and Salvation Army leader who was there for me every time I needed him with encouragement and holy example. He was instrumental in my marriage to Carolyn and my calling to service for Jesus. I will always value his life and deep influence upon me. Hallelujah!

John 14: 1″Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[a]; trust also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
