Dr Bill was our dr for over 12 years, my husband and I moved away for 4 years and just moved back to palm beach in May . Knowing we wanted Dr Bill again as our dr, but when we went to the office and found that he had passed away our hearts were broken, he is the best dr you could want to put your life in. I met his son while on the hospital and he made me face my illness with great ease. My husband and I will be forever greatful to Dr Bill for all the years of his care for us , and now looking ahead put our health care in his son's hands. God bless him and his beautiful family and great staff !

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Bills's passing. I have been going to him since 1994. My mother , in particular, adored him. He always made her feel good even when she was ill. My love and prayers to the whole family.

My heart felt broken when I heard from my daughter that Dr. Stechschulte had moved on to a better place. He had taken care of both my parents, myself and my children. I also worked with him at Wellington Regional. He always took the time to be friendly and kind. One thing that really impressed me was when I brought my Mother in was that even though she was beginning to get dementia he would always speak with her directly even when I asked the questions. I never had the honor of meeting his wife but what beautiful kind words he always said about her.
God bless Dr. Stechschulte's family and as you already know he was loved by many.
Many Blessings,
Janet G

God Bless You Dr. Bill

I remember Dr. Stechschulte back in the day at Brunnerdale and at St. Joseph's College while I was a student at both. He was a wonderful man and considerate person. May he be blessed with eternal rest.

I would like to express my condolences to Bill's family. I was a classmate of Bill's at Brunnerdale and St Joe's. Bill was a very smart guy in school. He used the many talents that God gave him for others, and may he now enjoy his heavenly reward. May God bless him. With Love, Dan Monnin from Russia, Ohio

There are no words to express my anguish and my sympathies to Dr. Bill's family - I feel over the years as though I knew you all. I was at the service last night. Have been a patient of Dr. Bill since 1995- Totally shocked and extremely upset - my prayers are with the family - I can't believe this. He saved my life twice - I already miss him. I saw him monthly for the last 6-7 months - we had very nice chats and talked about his hobbies. He was family to me, I do not think I can get over this loss- I hope Jr./Billy continues even more now in his father's footsteps. Purely an ornament of life!

I was once called by Dr. Bill his sickest patient and at another time his healthiest. Dr. Bill saves my life by finding an infection that eventually resulted in my getting a heart transplant. I loved and will miss Bill? David Brewer
