William Mosley

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be
So He wrapped his arms around you, and whispered, "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away,
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, a precious soul at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes His best.

William "Bill" Mosley was born on November 15, 1953, in Pueblo, Colorado and started a new journey in Baker, Louisiana in 1975. He was the owner and founder of Baker Glass Works since May of 1979, President of the Glass Association in the early 1990's, former President of the Baker Chamber in 1995, and coached Baker Little League for many years. Bill ended his journey on February 24, 2018, at the age of 64.
