Pastor Primrose took homiletics with me at FBBC, back in the 80s. I attended Northridge briefly, with a handful of other Faith students, back when he was founding the church. I appreciate that he took the gospel to the community, and was sorry to hear about him passing on years ago.

I loved Pastor Bill, I attended Northridge Baptist Church every Sunday and he baptized me when I was a teenager. I remember him always telling me to read the book of John. Which I still do today. To his kids and family I am saddened to hear he passed away some years ago.

We are very sad at the passing of Bill. He was a good man and had great charisma. Lyle enjoyed very much working with Bill at Happy Joe's, and spoke about him often. I met him several times and found him to be very nice and jovial. We know that he will be missed very much.
Sincerely,
Lyle and Debbie Wiorek and Family
