Love you Grandpa. I know you weren't my "real" grandpa, but you were always good to me and my children, I will always be proud to be part of your family. You will be missed. Rest in Peace.

In November of 1990, I was in Visalia to celebrate Jerry Ballew's 90th birthday. Of course I had to stop by and see Bill and catch up with all of the stuff he had been doing through the years. He hadn't changed a bit, same old Bill. I was the "pool boy" at COS 1965 & 66 and Bill would oversee my work. He was great fun, always laid back, telling stories about COS athletes and coaches and complaining about the swimmers(!) while teaching me the ropes. He was the right guy for the job: easy to...

Dear Dory and All of the family
I don't remember having met any of your part of the DePew family, yet we are sharing the loss of someone special.
It is a strange feeling to be sad and have happy memories at the same time. I believe a very large number of people share my sadness with his loss and have many good, smiling, happy memories. My memories of Bill brings a smile to my face.
The honesty in the way he approached people and life,...

It was a great honor for me to work with Bill Depew for many years. As a football coach at COS for 6 years I have many fond memories of Bill as our trainer. He was wonderful with young men and never heard a negative comment from anyone as he treated all with respect and kind words. All long trips home after a game we would often talk but it was difficult to get him to talk about his past, he was more concerned with the present and the student athletes. My sympathy to the family and I want...

Its memory day and some are sad. I remember Bill back when I played FB at COS in 63 and 64. I worked under Bill's instruction as a student paid athlete after school. Bill was nice a man as you would ever want to meet. I never knew of his service record but had I known I would have thanked him for it. So sorry for your loss. May God Bless, Dan
