William N. HALE

Bill (and Jan) were not only classmates,but precious friends as well. I met Bill in 1953 as students in Craig Hall, U. of Montana where he befriended me with his gracious ways and gentleman like attitudes towards people We were roomates over the years with the likes of Fritz Wolfrum, Jim Manion, Jack Phelps, Cliff Blake, all Smokejumpers at the Aerial Fire Depot in Missoula, Montana......The memories meld into the the sunsets and sunrises.....I remain your cheerleader and thanks for...

Bill was so special as a friend ,brother, uncle and great uncle. A role model to all.We will miss his wonderful smile and fun stories.

Bill and my father Bert Wolfrum, were roommates at the University of Montana, smokejumpers together and lifelong friends. My mother was especially fond of his quiet and soothing voice. My father passed away in October and I believe that he was probably one of the first to greet his old friend. Rest in peace Bill, you were a great man.
