William P. "Bill" Choltco

Popeye, How has it been 14 years already? There are so many things that have happened in these 14 years that I had hoped you would witness. I know you are watching and you can see every new masterpiece that was added to this family (most recently Evan's baby who has William in his name after you and Uncle Frank's father). There is just something about having that interaction with my favorite person that I am missing. That is the hard part. Wanting to pick up the phone or hop in the car...

It has been 13 years. Jasmine asked about my Pop-Pop, so I pulled up your info on google to show her just HOW much has been put on the internet about you. I found this page, that maybe at the time I knew was there or didn´t pay attention because it hurt so bad at the time. It gets easier over the years knowing that you are back with Grandma. The one person that it pained you to lose, so much that you called everyone by her name. I feel like you knew all along that Missy had that as well...

Dear Bev,
Albert and I felt honored reading about you dad's life. He truly was a hero on so many fronts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time in your lives.
Sincerely,
Izzie

Pop pop,

You will never truly know what a great man you were here on earth, but you probably know now that you are flying high above the skies looking down on us. We truly appreciate the love you gave to us as a family and you will be greatly missed.

Missy

I love you big pop pop, love Jorden (great grandson)

Bill Choltco was a wonderful friend, shipmate and co-pilot so many, many years ago. He also was a great help to me while I was the HS (helicopter) Program Manager at Naval Air Station, Lakehurst, NJ. While we were stationed there, I become aware of his tremendous artistic talents--but didn't realize that he'd studied art earlier at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. He was, indeed, talented in so many ways. And, my wife Lee and I were lucky to have crossed paths with Bill and Sandy Choltco. May...

You have our Deepest Sympathy. Our thoughts and Prayers are with you and your families. We will always remember Uncle Bill and his stories.
