William Dean Becher

I'm shocked to see this. I wish I had known about his passing sooner. Bill and I were friends for nearly 30 years.

I first arrived in Menasha in the Summer of 2019. One of the first people I met was Bill, through a mutual friend (Kim Massey). Bill was eager to show me the area and we traveled by car from Menasha to Combined Locks enjoying the riverfront and talking of what used to be and what is being developed. Bill had a special place at the Menasha Market @ 140 Main Street and we affectionately called him the 'Mentor of Menasha'. We miss you, Bill. Breakfasts at Weathervane and the 3rd Street Diner...

The class of 1963 would like to extend their sympathy to the Becker family at this time of their loss. I remember Bill from school and being a member of the Lions club with Pete.

I have known Bill since junior high....have memories of get togethers in his basement with music and playing "spin the bottle" ....my parents were friends of his parents and every lamp and light fixture in our house came from the store...saw him at class reunions and also "cultivating" the huge geranium in the store window. Rest in peace, Bill.

Praying for your family during this time of loss. Bill and I were both Island Kids and were classmates during elementary as well as junior and senior high school. We were also confirmed together at St. Timothy (Bill is all the way on the left of the top row and I am second from the right in the same row. I remember when I would visit your house and birds had the habit of flying into your bay window. I think you may have had some big plants that distracted them. It is odd how the smallest...

Tom, Nancy & Bunny: We are so Sorry to hear of Bill passing. We stayed in touch for a little while after Marcy's passing and then lost touch. Thinking of all of you. RIP Bill.

Tom, Nancy, and Bunny, I remember Bill and you with very fond memories. Many of those memories revolve around scouts and church, but I also remember the warm family vibes when visiting your home on the island and Becher Electric. My deepest condolences to you all.
