The Antle Family
Bill, Kathy, Katie, Joshua, and Taylor

 

Married in August 1992, Bill and Kathy celebrated their 10th Wedding Anniversary in 2002 by being baptized with their entire family as a result of the ASI evangelistic meetings held that summer at Eastwood Seventh-day Adventist Church.  

 

Bill served 17 years in the U.S. Navy as a Gunnersmate, and now works as a Warehouse Manager & Buyer for Dalmatian Fire, a fire suppression/sprinkler installation company. He serves as a Deacon and as an Instructor of the Eastwood SDA Pathfinders Club. Kathy works in the financial services industry and is a Compliance Analyst & Licensing Specialist for two subsidiary companies of Arthur J. Gallagher. She serves on the Eastwood Seventh-day Adventist Junior Academy School Board.  Both, enjoy going on Mission Trips with Eastwood each February.  (For details regarding the lastest trip, visit --> Eastwood Mission Trip 2008.)

 

While in the Navy, Bill has served during the Gulf War, and overseas on the USS Sterett, USS Josephus Daniels, and the Sixth Fleet Flagship, USS Belknap, until it was decommissioned in 2000. He has been fortunate to visit such countries as Turkey, Spain, Portugal, France, Malta, Greece, Bulgaria, Russia, Korea, and the Philippines.

 

Prior to returning stateside in 1998, Bill and Kathy lived in Italy. They spent 2-1/2 years in Gaeta, just an hour and a half north of Naples (where Taylor was born), and 3 years in Sigonella which is located on the Italian island of Sicily, just 2 hours east of Palermo. While in Sigonella, the Antle Family lived on its active volcano, Mt.Etna. While in Italy, Kathy officiated Volleyball for the Adult Intramural Program, while both Bill and Kathy officiated for Youth and Adult Intramural Soccer. 

 

Bill and Kathy have been blessed with 3 children, Katie, Joshua, and Taylor. All 3 currently attend Mount VernonAcademy, an Adventist boarding high school located in Mount Vernon, Ohio. Katie is a future 2009 graduate, serves as a Resident Advisor in the Girl’s Dorm, and is actively involved with the MVA Cascabel Handbell Choir. Joshua is a future 2010 graduate, a Michigan Wolverine fan, and is actively involved in MVA sport teams such as baseball and soccer. Taylor is a future 2011 graduate, member of the Student Association, and it was her love of Christ that was the most influential factor in our family accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior. 

 

As a family, the Antle’s love camping and roasting marshmallows, eating Graeter’s ice cream, and going to Columbus Clippers & Columbus BlueJackets games.
