A retired teacher, Bill also served as a Church of theBrethren pastor in several churches in Rockingham and Shenandoah counties from1961 until 2005. His grandfather, William A. Zirk, was superintendent of the RockinghamCounty Alms House from 1945 until his sudden death in 1952. His father BerlinM. Zirk, Sr., became superintendent and served until January of 1956, when his health caused him toretire. In the years of his grandfathers tenure, his father was in charge ofthe farm activities. Thus Bill literally grew up in the Alms House, commonlyknown as the poor house. He has been researching the residents of the AlmsHouse and was instrumental in erecting a monument in its cemetery in memory ofits residents.
