In Loving Memory Of
William “Bill”Pierce
William (Bill) Pierce, Sr. was born on October 8, 1950 in Williston, North Dakota, son of Preston Pierce and Vio-let Schmidt. After Preston and Violet divorced, Everett Pierce became Bill’s
father figure. He was raised and educated in Williston, and graduated from Williston High School in 1969. He fur-thered his education at Minot State. He was united in marriage to Carol Brown on March 23, 1985. They made their home in Wolf Point, MT where they operated Pierce’s Super Stop. They then moved to Watford City, ND where they ran the American Legion & Super Club for five years. They made their current home in Williston in 1992 where they estab-lished Pierce’s Steakhouse. He was a lifetime member of the N.R.A. His interests included guns, coins, and muscle cars. His true passion was his work and he took great pride in his steaks. He loved conversing with his family and employees about the bible and politics. He will be greatly missed by many. Bill died Sunday, October 31, 2010 at Trinity Hospital in Minot with his family by his side. He is survived by his wife, Carol of Williston; three chil-dren, Bill (Shelly) Pierce, Jr. of Williston, ND and their children, Lakyn, Allise, Ashton and Benjamin; Jaydee (Dustin) Mortenson of Williston, ND and their children, Kaylee, Breanne, Austin and Levi; and Jason (Vanessa) Eggebrecht of Williston, ND and their children, Austin, Payten, Kailer and Ella; four brothers, Jim Pierce of Kallis-pell, MT, Larry (Carol) Pierce of Sidney, MT, Raymond (Judy) Pierce of Williston, ND and Skip (Doris) Pierce of Williston, ND; sister, Nancy (David) Reitan of Arizona; and several special aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces.

God looked around his garden
And he found an empty place
He then looked down upon his earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God’s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills are hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered “Peace be Thine”
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn’t go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
