We are men who lead, serve, protect and defend, whether we are giving out Coats for Kids, donating wheelchairs, lending a helping hand in disaster relief efforts, supporting local pregnancy centers or providing top-quality financial products.
August Family of the Month Bill and Cindy Dover appear nearly inseparable, whether serving as ushers at 5:30 Mass on Saturdays, working together in his optometry office in Duncanville or – as was the case in late June – teaming together at our baseball concession stand. They met in August 1971 while stationed together at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri, were married a year later in her home parish near Chicago and came to Duncanville in 1974 in the earliest days of our parish soon after their discharge. Bill followed the example of his father in joining the Knights in June 1964 in Edinburg, Texas shortly after graduating from high school and following membership in the Columbian Squires. He is a Fourth Degree Knight (a former Faithful Navigator) and serves as our District Deputy. Bill has long volunteered for the Catholic Community Appeal, various causes related to Bishop Dunne and was a member of the parish council. Cindy is a member of Holy Spirit’s outreach ministry and can be found each summer helping set up the Fall Festival rummage sale. She was instrumental in beginning the parish’s grief ministry and has served as a Eucharistic Minister to the sick and homebound. The Dovers have one child, Katie, who is married to our own Deputy Grand Knight, Nick Kleinhaus, with one grandchild (Will).
