Colonel Billy E. SACHSE

(Darren): I've known Bill all my life. Bill & Jackie met my Mum and Dad when Dad and Bill were stationed at Minot, North Dakota, in the '60's. Bill and Jackie have been a large part of our lives since then, firstly as great friends with Mum and Dad, and subsequently as they raised their respective families (Brian (B&J's second-born) and I were born in the same year whilst they were stationed at Minot in 1962). Despite the geographical distances over the years, the friendships have...

Please accept our deepest sympathies. Bill and Jackie have touched many lives, including my family, with their kindness and love. May you all find comfort and support during this difficult time and treasured memories you can forever look back on and hold in your heart. love always, Carol

These two. What a pair. Growing up together in Kennewick, being naughty with fireworks. The tales they would tell when together. Jackie and I just shook our heads. Bill was a love, easy to talk to and get gardening advice from. Compared our Lutheran (grape juice) and Episcopal (wine) traditions. Jackie was his rock, even when he cared for her. So going to miss our e-chats. God, you got a really good one.

To the Sachse´s clan, we grew up together as our families got close at Barksdale AFB, in Louisiana and later at Fairchild AFB outside Spokane. I will miss Bill very much. What an incredible man!

Our hearts and prayers are with the family. He was an outstanding man, well respected and loved. Bruce and Sandra Olgard.
