Not sure what to say?

Bill was a classmate in high school. I remember him as always being a jovial, fun loving sort of guy ready to help. I and two other classmates, Jim Agans, aka "Band" and Richie Kreutzveldt, aka " Pirate" joined the Air Force in 64' right out of school. May he Rest in Peace .

Bill ad I were students for titan ll missile system at witchita falls Texas in 1975. We did a lot of fun things together. Like baseball games and going to Disney land with his nephew. He was a lot of fun. He told me about the ghost incident at his missile site. The ghost came and made a big whirl wind of wind and destructive behavior in the launch control center and quietly left with a sound. The ghost open and closed doors and topside gate as they left. A true story. Bill. Rest in peace...

Rest in peace Brother Bill. We roomed together at Valpo in 1965. I salute you for your years of service in the Air Force and with the Army. You have left a great legacy! Dale Broekemeier

Only very fond memories of my cousin Bill. It was very normal to see him in Middlesex while visiting our grandmother. He set example for all of his cousins. Thanks Cousin Bill

I really enjoyed Wild Bill. He was fun to be around. Mi wife Miyoung enjoyed living close to them in Sagami family housing area, and my wife playing golf with Chizu just about daily when we lived there. He will truly be missed. May God bless him and the rest of the family during this time of sadness.

Sending our love to Chizu , Luticia and family from New Zealand. Bill was a great friend to us all . Rhonda, Ray, Jono and Chris Steele.

I just wanted to add this map to the Committal Shelter at the Hawai´i State Veterans Cemetery. His service will be on Friday, June 14 at 1100. The family asks that guests please be at the Committal Shelter by 1045.

I will miss Bill. He was a great friend and colleague. He could light up the room with joy and he worked very hard to handle any issues at our medical conferences. He really enjoyed engaging with everyone attending the conference.

We first met Bill working diligently behind the scenes during one of many Asia Pacific Military Medical conferences(US ARMY PACIFIC/TRIPLER and a host nation). Australia New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam. He was there, always with a smile and helpfulness as well as a funny story. More recently, we would cross paths at Ft Shafter and always a friendly smile and a moment for good wishes. Needless to say, we were sad to hear he passed unexpectedly. To the Hansche family,...
