    While I am very saddened that Bill has passed, it is an immense comfort to know he has reunited with our beloved Gail! My heart is warm with so many memories of both Bill and Gail. Being such close friends with my parents, Frank and Janice Whitlow, I feel like I grew up with Bill, Gail, and their family. My heart is with you during this time of loss!

    Rest easy Bill and give Miss Gail a hug for me. I am proud to have had you as a friend. I was proud to see you command a room from the dais with your captivating teaching. I enjoyed bounty hunting and riding Harleys together. We worked together to start NABBI, a non-profit that supported bail education. I will miss the country bondsman greatly.

    To all of Bill's family and friends, I offer my sincerest condolences for your loss. I'm happy he is with the love of his life, Gail. I know Daisy will miss him more than anyone! He and Gail were my cousins. I didn't get to spend much time with them, as I met them later in life. But the time I did spend there, they were the most hospitable couple. I remember when Aunt Doris passed away, we went to their house after the funeral. Steve & I stayed into the night, being the last to leave because we were all having such a good time laughing and talking. I will hold these dear memories in my heart for the rest of my life. You will be missed, Bill, but not forgotten.

    We send our sincere condolences to the entire family. We know he is now at peace and with his Gail and other family members gone before. It was a pleasure having him at church the last Sunday's he was able to attend, as he had become a part of our family and we will miss him greatly. We pray for God's peace and love to be with each of you.

    September 18, 2022, William (Bill) Terry Marx, Sr., joined his wife, Gail Wadford Marx in heaven.  He is survived by four children: Deborah Wade (Charles) and William (Bill) T. Marx, Jr. (Lisa) of Fredericksburg, VA and Dawn Moody and Timothy Moody (Lori) of Kenbridge, VA; four grandchildren:  Chase Anderson, Olivia Moody, Christopher Moody, and Blake Bolter; and one great-grandchild, Abigail Anderson; and his brother, Boyd Marx of Cynthiana, KY. In addition, he also leaves his beloved dog, Daisy.

    Bill was born in Houston, Texas and over the years lived in numerous locations with family.

Upon retirement, he became a licensed Bail Bondsman and Private Investigator, under his company, Free State Bail bonds, which was in operation for over twenty years.
