11 years ago our hearts were broken with the passing of our beloved Bill. A loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend of many...taken from us way too soon. He remains forever in our hearts and memories. He'll always be thought of quick with a joke and a grin on his face... Love forever... Thank you Semper Fi Marine Veterans Association for keeping his Guest Book open for all to remember. Sandy

It's hard to believe it's been 7 years since we lost our beloved Bill. Life goes on with new family additions :) to carry on the Woidyla genes and awesome personalities. The memories will never fade but live in our hearts forever. I am thankful to have been a part of the family and friends that shared so many wonderful memories with and of Bill. As Willie Nelson laments, "You're always in my heart and always on my mind". All my thanks to family and friends and know that we all have Bill as our special Guardian Angel watching over us. Until we meet again in God's everlasting life, hugs and kisses.... Sandy

Hello Uncle Bill, I am so sadden to hear that you have passed. I am the niece of Bill the middle daughter of his brother Ernest T. Woidyla, Pamela Gayle Woidyla (Roach). After my Dad had passed back in 1987 that was the last time I ever seen my Uncle Bill. I am so heart broken that so much time has pasted since we have spoken or seen each other and to hear that my favorite Uncle is now gone tears me up in side. I have such fond memories of my uncle and those memories will live on forever in me. My deepest sympathy goes out to our family and friends who loved and adored him for all he was in our lives. He has left behind two other nieces which are Kathy fay Woidyla (Tedder) and Gloria gean Woidyla (Hrenko) My sisters, as well as all of our children his great nieces and nephews. God Bless you Uncle Bill R.I.P. WE LOVE YOU DEARLY..

My grandfather Bill is one of my heros. He showed me how a man should act and conduct himself, and as I grow older I find myself thinking of him and his lessons more and more. I can't think of anybody else I could look up to more. He seemed to make a memorable impression on everybody he met. I love and miss him deeply.

My name is Jeanette and I am Bill's second daughter. My father's passing was extremely difficult for me, I was in no way ready to not be able to speak to him and hear those ridiculous polock and blonde jokes. He was the most honorable man that I have ever known and I love him dearly, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of him. I wanted to let Frenchy know that what he did for my father on the day of his burial was the most amazing and heartwarming thing that I have ever witnessed and I still have the picture of you and I up on my fireplace mantel right next to the picture of my dad stepping out of HMX-1. Thanks to all who have taken the time to remember this incredible man. My love to each and every one of you!!!!

I did not know Bill but I share his last name. By reading the message his friends have posted about him, I am sure we are related. There are several Woidyla's in Massachusetts that have left lasting impressions on many people. I am very proud of the name "Woidyla" and have come to known many that have left a lasting impression on me. I am not sure if this is the appropriate site for my posting but it sounds to me like Bill is like many of the Woidyla's I have grown with and I would be proud to call him family.

As anyone who knew Bill he was a "Good Man" I have the utmost respect for him. I always have. Bill accepted me into his family proudly and I appreciated that greatly. I made a promise to Bill when I asked for his blessing to marry his daughter Julia, I simply promised to take care of her and treat her good. Sometimes I think I can feel him watching to make sure I keep my word! Julia and I have a baby girl as many already know. She is just about a year old now and I think I recognize a bit of Bill in her as she begins to develop her personality. In fact I told Julia that I just can't wait for her to talk just to hear what she has to say!!!!!Bill was a man that I admired and, I take pride in helping to pass on his legacy. I look forward to telling my daughter stories that Bill told me. She may have to wait till she is at least 18 but thats okay. I would like to thank you all very much for all the woderful things that have been shared on these pages. They have touched us all in some way. They have also given my family a way to sort of visit Bill when we miss him, as we often do, by comming here...Again thank you all,
Bills son-in-law,Patrick Vaughn

I wish I had known Bill like so many of the friends and family who have left such loving messages for him. In a way I did, I suppose, because if it were not for Bill I'm not sure I would be here today, writing these words.
Bill was making medavac runs in Vietnam, September 21, 1967, in support of the 2nd BN, 4th Marines, who were engaged with a large force of enemy NVA. I was badly wounded
during this fight and was fortunate to be medavaced out that evening, while the fighting continued. Bill and his crew of Marines literally saved my life.
Bill was kind enough to respond to an email I sent out looking for Marine helo pilots who helped us "Grunts" that day. It was extremly dangerous, as several other medavac helos were shot down, according to Bill's email. He told me this and how he flew over 12 hours taking the wounded out and returning with desperately needed ammo and water. I was his last ride that day in September, 1967.
As he approached the Dong Ha Medical Facility he noticed they were taking incoming rounds from the DMZ, and they were impacting close to the hospital tents. So Bill took off to the South China Sea to locate the USS Sanctuary Hospital Ship. He did this knowing he would be flying on fumes when he got out to sea and might not make it to the ship.
Well, somehow, with no fuel left he
made it to the ship with his wounded Marines on board. I suppose he didn't have to take that risk, but I'm glad he did. Bill's wife, Sandy, told me Bill received the DFC for his actions that day. I thought he should have been awarded the Medal of Honor.
I just wanted to say, God's speed, Bill, and Semper Fi from one of the many Grunts you saved and carried out of harms way.

Sandy & Family
I guess this is final.
All the time the book was here, I had another day to procrastinate.
The one thing that Bill and I did together, other than Marine Corps "time", and to converse about our classic Chevys, and how we were going to take our wives cruising when we got the cars restored,was to pay our final respects to Roger Cook, our mutual good friend,from Marine Corps days. Bill,and Roger were also pilots at Continental Airlines.
This was several months previous to Bill's passing.
Bill's throat biopsey was scheduled for the day after Rogers funeral.
I knew Bill had great deal of anxiety about his own situation, but stayed focused and upbeat throughout the Services for Roger.
We talked, and laughed, about a lot of things on the 3 plus hour ride out to San Antonio,from Katy, TX, and back.
I knew Bill was telling me things, for his own reasons,like his final requests for his own funeral.
We shared views on the importance of being there for each other, both in the Marine Corps,the obvious,and throughout our lives.
A lot of things he said, I sort of let slide by because I didn't want him to know that it had a profound effect on me.
And, that I was worried for him.
I also worried about his family,
and how they would fare the ordeal ahead.
I didn't tell Bill, but I made him some promises that day, hoping that I wouldn't have to keep them.
The day did come, and I did what I could to keep the promises that I made to him, and myself.
Till we meet again, thank you for your friendship.
And, Semper Fi!

Bill made his next journey over a year ago now. He left a legacy that many would be proud to share. His daughters are a mirror of their dad in so many ways. They are strong, have a sense of humor, proud of our country, love children and have married men whom Bill approved of and respected. In June, Julia gave birth to a baby girl, Alexandra Grace Vaughn. All of us thought, how wonderful it would have been for Bill to have experienced his youngest granddaughter. Whatever your thoughts might be on the subject, Julia and I believe that Bill did know Alexandra in a special way. Everyone in the whole family were delighted with joy at the expectation only a month or so after Bill left us. Throughout this last year Bill was in everyones thoughts as the new baby approached. Her middle name, Grace then, has a special meaning and reflects on the divine timing.
Life and death are a mystery - one that everyone struggles with for meaning. May the peace of God continue to bless Sandy Woidyla and all those who remember and love Bill.
With respect and affection,
Ruth (Woidyla)Walsh 1969-1987

I was sad to hear Bill had passed away.
I would like to send my condolences to his family.
I belonged to the Woidyla family for a short time in the late 70's. I had the honor of meeting Bill and his family when I visited Maryland.
Bill took me for a ride in his small plane, and we circled Washington D.C.
It was my first small plane ride, and what a treat that was. Bill touched my life for a very small time, but left me with some very fond memories of him.
Sincerely Helen

Dad,
It has taken me almost a year to put into words the loss I feel.
You have taught me so many lessons. Whether it was you letting me steer a Cessna as a two year old, teaching me to drive and remaining calm when you should not have, or giving me away at my wedding one thing is true. Our love is unconditional.
I remember you would get down and look at me with your kind blue eyes when I was a child and teach me things. You always made my lessons fun. You would hold my hand as we crossed the street and call me "booperhead". Years later that name would prove a bit more embarassing in public but we would still laugh about it. As an adult, I would look you straight in your kind blue eyes as appreciated your advice. You also knew when to let go and let me fly on my own.
Since your death, I have given birth to a daughter. Alexandra has your kind blue eyes. I look down at her and know that you picked her out just for me.
I hope that I can teach her all the lessons that you taught me with a great deal of humor. While she has not met you on earth she will know who you are.
I love you and always will. I look forward to our talks again in heaven.
Love,
Julia

It was a wonderful day when Bill married Sandra and became a part of the Milam family. No one with Milam blood has been any better or more generous with his time and resorces to members of this family than he was. From the bottom of my heart, I can say it was our "honor" to have had shared our family with him for the short time he was in our lives.

When I first introduced Bill and Sandy it was like putting a mad dog and a cat together. The next time they met was completely different. Sandy and I were eating crawfish and Bill used knowing me from work at Continental as an excuse to meet Sandy (as they had forgotten their first encounter). Well it was true love from the beginning. At first I thought Bill was the luckiest man alive as no one was as special as my best friend. But as I got to know Bill and saw how he took in Sandy's extended family and her friends and made wonderful new friends, I knew that Sandy was also very lucky. No one was more generous to everyone he met and knew than Bill. And not only was he generous but he was the most sentimental, romantic man I have ever known. In fact at times I was almost jealous of all he did for Sandy. Not just the material things he gave her, but for the thought and sentiment he put in everything he did. He went to great effort to make all her wishes come true. He also went to extreme lengths to always totally surprise her (to the point of sending a singing Barbershop Quartet to surprise her one Valentine's Day). Yes, Bill was a wonderful husband, father and friend, and as I put on his wreath, he was a true hero in every way. So as we all will miss him I hope all of us will hold on to the beautiful memories we all share. And Sandy, remember that you and Bill had more in a short period than most have in a lifetime.

Our family was so fortunate to have met Bill & Sandy for the first time this year. They flew up to Seattle to help be a part of a long overdue memorial for Capt. LaVoy "Mac" McVey who died in vietnam in 1970. Bill and Mac were in bootcamp together. Bill helped us for months prepare for this day and help bring long needed peace to Mac's family. Bill was funny and so very kind. He made us feel cared for and loved in such a dark time. We will cherish the memories that Bill helped give us forever. Semper Fi, Bill.

Our deepest sympathies to your loving family.

approach is, you don't even have to worry about cross winds, the only thing
that you will have to do is; request permission to land. You will be able

I will miss your stories, your humor, your guidance, and inspiration.

I never met another man who was more a Marine than Bill. He lived and breathed the Corps - while on duty and then when retired. He was a shining example to the rest of us. Even in the midst of great pain he could keep his sense of humor and send a funny e-mail. Rest in peace Bill and I hope they have your brand in heaven.

Dear Sandra and family,
To me Bill was a wonderful caring human being. What I mostly admired was the way he embraced your former husband's (Homer Milam) entire family as his own, even inviting one of them to live with both of you for some years.He even went with you to his grave to put flowers on it,what a great human being.No wonder he was respected and loved by so many.He will be surely missed.

I have never had nor will I ever have again, a neighbor like Bill. Never saw him without a smile on his face, a good word to share or a joke to tell. You could never be anything but happy when you were in his company. Splended Behavior! I will miss Bill and his daily emails, but I am quite sure he is cooking up one hell of a party for us when we meet him again. A nicer gentlemen, I will never meet. Semper Fi Marine!

I will always remember Bill for his Jokes. He always had a new one everytime he seen you. He would always bring a funny e-mail picture down to Shrimp's to share with everyone. During one get together he took individual pictures of everyone enjoying themselves and then printed them for people to take home. When I see an Vintage car like Bill's I will think of him. He will be sorely missed. We loved him.

In remembrance of my Husband, best friend, my soul-mate, pilot, my Marine HERO....
Honey....
"When days are sad and lonely, and everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper "Cheer up and carry on".
Every time I see your picture, you smile and seem to say "Don't cry I'm only sleeping, we'll meet again someday".
You gave no one a last farewell, or ever said goodbye. You were gone before I knew it and only God knows why.
A million times I'll miss you. A million times I'll cry. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still. In my heart you hold a special place that no one else can fill.
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of me went with you, the day God took you home...."
I know that you are now "Major" Guardian Angel to those you left behind....And so until we meet again...
I love you
Semper Fi..

But it was an honor for me to know you and to call you a friend.
We had two short get togethers, the second with some other Marine friends at your place in Katy last April.
This gave us all the opportunity to meet your daughter Julia and your wife Sandy.
We are better for that.
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family and a big thanks to you!
Semper Fi ! --- my friend.

Julia,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know you were very close to your dad so the grief must be overwhelming. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
