When I was little I had an accident and I had a bandage covering one side of my forehead. My Mom took me to "Dr. Bill", she must have told me he was a doctor. he worked on getting the bandage off but I wouldn't let him and I started to run away. He reached out and grabbed the corner of the bandage and it ripped off as I ran off. He was always "Dr. Bill" to me and one of the nicest guys I have ever known. It was 60 years ago. My condolences to his family.

I knew Bill as a member of First Lutheran Church. He was someone I looked up to as a "hero" of mine even before I knew of his WW II record.
One of my first memories of Bill is as a Sunday school teacher for my son Jeff who was about 10. Jeff came home and talked about what he learned. Bill said "It is important to be humble", and if you "talk" you better be able to back it up.
Bill was the church "volunteer" for many years. He painted, cleaned the church, organized yard clean up, set up and cooked pancakes for the youth Easter breakfast, served on church council, participated and led the choir. If there was something going on at the church, Bill was involved. The maintenance budget for the church was always lower than the actual cost of maintaining the church. Bill consistently hid the real cost by paying for things out of his own pocket.
I am sure that Bill had his faults, but to me he was a man’s man. A true hero and someone I will always feel grateful that I was his friend.
