William S. Michaels

Pat and Family: I am proud to say that Bill Michaels was my coach and an inspiration in my early life. I have been a teacher and coach for over thirty five years and I have patterned my approach to Mr. William Michaels. Polite, kind, patient, and ever caring; A GREAT MAN. Pat and Bill where a couple that all should pattern themselves to. I am proud to have known Bill Michaels. Russ Hake - Girard Class of 1965.

Patty, I am really sorry to hear about Bill. I played football for Bill back in the later 60's. I really respected Bill as a coach and a teacher. At this point, I am the high school principal at Girard High School. Sorry again for your loss.

Pam, Joe, Trisha and Mrs. Michaels,
Coach Michaels was a truly wonderful man. I was proud to tell people that he was my High School Football coach. He left a lasting a imprint on my life.

Brenda and I are thinking of you.

Dear Pam & Joe,

I was so very sorry to learn of the death of your father and father-in-law. He certainly raised a wonderful family and was a role model for courage at his most trying time. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your great loss.

Dear Pat: I am sorry to hear of Bill's death. Want you to know he was such a good friend and classmate to those of us in the class of '45. He gave so much back to the school and made many lives better. Our prayers are with you all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family.

Dear Pam and the Michaels family,
My heartfelt condolences to you all. Though many years have gone by, I can remember us all thinking what a cool and handsome Dad Pam had. Even then, we all knew that Mr. Michaels adored his family. I know he will be missed by all, but what a wonderful legacy he has left, particularly his children.
Take care and our thoughts are with you all.
Love,
Patti (Greaves)Ferenczy

My deepest sympathy to all of you. Your family has always been special to me as well as others. His life history was extremely interesting. I didn't realize all that he accomplished in his life. I just knew "Pam's" dad was a really cool and fun guy. I am so sorry for your loss. Love all of you.

Dear Pat and Family: We are so sorry to hear of Willie's death. There are such good memories of he and I playing football together in Girard. We met again at Notre Dame as classmates and I enjoyed watching four undefeated seasons with Willie on the ND team. Willie was a great classmate and friend.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Bill and Trudy Hochadel,Members of GHS Class of '45.
