William "Bill" GOOLSBEE

A good man remembered well

Bill's warm smile and cowboy boots clicking down the halls of NWP will live on forever in my heart.

My thoughts and prayers are with all.

Dear Bertie and Tom and family: What a beautiful service it was at Salem last week in honor of your father. And so very personal. By speech and by music, all attested to how generous he was as he shared his talents, time, knowledge and zest for life with so many. He was a potent force, yet gentle, kind and loving and you were so blessed to have him as a father. I am sure that, in time, all the many wonderful memories of him will help mend your hearts and that you'll be happy and...

My beloved Uncle Bill, perhaps my favorite human being on the planet, will be sorely missed. His life motto graces my refrigerator: "I've got enthusiasm!" And that he truly did. I love all the Goolsbee/Kraft clan and cry with you today.

We were so sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing. May you find joy in celebrating his life!

I am so sorry to hear about Bill's passing...he will be missed "at the lake" and "on the island" as he was a faithful worshipper on Sunday mornings at Bay Lake Camp. He was always interested in the ministry of BLC and frequently asked about it. He will be missed, I will miss him, and you will be in my prayers in the days ahead...deep peace to you, Pastor Chris Berthelsen, First Lutheran Church

Dear Gary and Family, Such wonderful memories of your family and life shared from the days at Pillsbury, Windom Park, scouts, Gray Y, Trailblazers, etc. Seemed like this man was there with all of us as we grew into our shoes. I am sorry to hear of William's passing
