Nancy - So sorry to hear about Bill. Sandi and I conjured up wonderful memories of Bill regaling us at NESA meetings - somehow his delightful grin when the Filipino band played his request for "Up Against The Wall Redneck Mother" at the Sheraton IN YEMEN (!!!) remains our picture of the man. From our perspective, you two really did it right - enjoying that second career in international schools. Bill was one of the great ones, and we're all missing something knowing he's not with us. ...

I am sooooo sorry to hear about the passing of Bill!! I really enjoyed working under Bill at The American School Of Kuwait. Bill and Nancy were like my parents while I was there. He will truly be missed.

Bill was a once-in-a-lifetime master in the field of education. I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to have worked with him during his ten years at Menasha School District. He touched every teacher and classroom EVERY week by walking in to just say "Hello" to each of us and remaining connected. His Superintendent of the Year award should be extended to that of Superintendent of a lifetime. My condolences and prayers are with the family for such a huge loss. May your hearts soon be...

Bill was the most supportive and effective superintendent that I as a principal ever worked for. Above all I will always cherish his friendship. I know Bill and George Steinbrenner are looking down and hoping for another Yankees championship. My heartfelt condolences to Nancy and the family.

To Dr. Decker's family... so sorry for your loss. Hope you find peace through this difficult time.
I remember Dr. Decker was Superintendent of Menasha School District when I was in First Grade (1986-ish). I got a picture taken with him for winning a placemat contest at school. That photo was published in the paper. Wish I still had a copy of that picture. I felt so special that time. Dr. Decker was, in my opinion, the best Superintendent that school system ever had. He will be truly...

Bill hired us here in Kuwait and gave us an opportunity of a life time. He was a fair and honest person that we could all respect. His love of sports as well as great reading always gave us something to discuss.
You made a great difference in the lives of so many. That is truly a remarkable life.
We will miss you.
