William "Bill" John Bachand

I'll miss you Bill. You were a friend, colleague and LEO Brother. You were a man that many men can only aspire to be. Thank you for your help and mentorship through the years my friend. RIP Bill,

Willie, I have accepted that you are gone, but the love I had for you never has learned how to leave. Some love does not disappear. It softens, it finds ways to exist. We have known each other for 60 plus years and you will always be in my thoughts.

Dear Bill,
From the first time I met you I knew you were a good man with a big heart and even bigger personality, always so kind and happy to see me so I thought anyway I just want you to know I'm so glad I met you and I enjoyed the comments and banter on FB and was so glad to see you at Hayden's birthday party not knowing it'd be the last time , I feel very fortunate to have seen you and got that one more last hug , RIP.....Rest in Paradise my friend until we meet again !! ❤❤❤...

Bill and Randy were some of our first friends when we moved to Camano Island. We had a lot of good times on and off duty. Bill was a great friend and mentor to me both at work and in life.

Thank you, Bill, you will be missed.

Officer Bachand was one of my favorite people while growing up in Stanwood in the 1980s he was a very nice man and always fair even when I was in trouble he always treated me with kindness. I'm sorry for your loss.

You be miss thanks for the help you for dezera

I'll always love you dad

Bill was a great part of the Stanwood school district. I have so much respect for him!

I’ve known Bill and he was great friend and comrade since he came to Stanwood/Camano. Although he seemed to forget my name and always called me by my given name from the local youth, “Batman” . We had many great memories together. Including short sheeting my bed and other antics on my wedding night, I’ll never forget . When Bill saw anyone with a baby, look out he drawn to that baby like a magnet! We could always count on each both at work and off. And I’ll never forget his daily...
