Not sure what to say?

Betty and family, I am thinking of you all and I will miss one of the most gentle, kind, and giving men I ever had the honor to know. I remember riding to school everyday in Wink's car, he was so quiet and calm. I don't think there was a day where I didn't spend most of the day in the Bottemiller home when we moved to Horseshoe Island. Betty and Wink always had an open door policy. And the tramp, oh so many hours on the trampoline. One day I came home with a horse and ask my Dad if I...

I have the greatest memories of wink in the drug store and then hi school pharmacy! He was a very incredable nice caring man! He will be greatly missed by so many. Condolences to the Bottemeller faimily and other members and friends as well

Thinking of Wink brings a smile and fond memories of the Young Life fellowship group that met at your house. He and Betty were always such welcoming hosts to that group of teens. I am thankful for his willingness to spend so many years with us. My thoughts and prayers for the rest of the family.

Prayers for you and the entire family Beth....I wish I could be there for you. I want you to know that I am thinking about you and praying for you and your family. I'm with you in Spirit!

My deepest sympathy goes out to all of the family. You are all in my prayers and I know that "Wink" is in heaven with our Lord. May God be with you all during this time of grief and uplift you in knowing He is taking care of him now. He has probably already played 18 holes of golf with his friends and family. Love to you all..Praying for you.

Sincere condolences to the family of a wonderful man who always had a beautiful smile.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathy and prayers during your time of grieving at the passing of "Wink" Bottemiller.
May GOD Bless You and give you comfort that Wink is in His company now and all is well!

What an example of a man and a father. After reading his life's story, I suppose being a WWII medic would give you proper perspective for the rest of your life.
Open house on Fellowship nights were always a great place to be. Thank you Wink for giving me my first set of golf clubs and the lifelong gift of golf.
