William (Bill) C. Boer
William Cornelis Boer, 70, passed away on February 23, 2013 at the Franklin County Medical Center in Preston, Idaho, surrounded by family after a long battle with cancer.

They were later sealed in the Logan Temple in 1975.
Bill was proud of his Dutch heritage, a devoted husband and father of nine children and an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in many callings including Bishop, High Council, Young Mens, High Priests and Sunday School and truly loved the people he served.
