William Ogilvie

It surely doesn't seem like four years has gone by since Bill's passing from this earth life. I was just thinking about our experiences together during his tenure at Utah Valley University and although that tremendous growth period was a trying time for all of us Bill's determination to take his job serious no matter what blocks were put in his way is a tribute to his tenacity and metal. I wasn't able to get to know his family but know that they are missing him a little bit more this time of...

Working with Bill at Westminster was always a pleasure and sometimes a surprise. I admired the dedication he displayed to all of the students, even the ones who could try the patience of Job. In my opinion he made his final final approach way too soon. My condolences and sympathy go out to his dear family.

Dearest Sue and family,
I was so sad to hear of Bills sudden passing. We have missed you across the street from us! I know how much Galen enjoyed serving with Bill in the young men's. Galen also enjoyed his friendship, going on a couple of outings together, visiting about many things and Galen appreciated his kindness through his cancer! Sue, you have been so kind to me through my trials, I wish I could be of service to you! If you ever need a listening ear I am available. I send...

Susan and family, we are deeply saddened to hear of your loss, please know we are thinking you and your family at this time in your life. Dr.Roberts and staff.

I am still reeling from the shock of this unexpected news. I will miss seeing Bill every day at work, I will miss his consistently positive attitude, the way he sought out advice about classes, how he cared about always doing the right thing, and the way he put students first in every possible way. I can't imagine how many things will trigger memories of him and remind me how much he is missed.

I also cannot imagine losing my life partner at such a young age and in such an unexpected...

I have had the pleasure of Bill's instruction both in the airplane and in class. He had such an influence on me that one of his various Bill Olgilvie-Catch-Phrases is now commonly spoken in my household by not only me but my wife also! I am very sorry to hear of his passing. He will be greatly missed by many.

Bill was probably the kindest professor in our aviation faculty at Westminster, taught most of our classes, and put in so much time and effort into our NIFA team, staying way later than he had to to help. He was always there ready to answer any questions no one else could, and we used to have long discussions in his office over these topics. We both really enjoyed it. His knowledge and wisdom and love for his students was what touched the lives of so many of us at Westminster... We will all...

I personally am sorry to hear of Bill's passing. We worked together at UVU where he was one of my chief instructors during a peak period of growth. He was very active and it was a shock for all of us to hear of his death. RIP my friend and you surely are in a better place.
