Bill and Darlene were special people in our lives growing up in Halstead. Sending prayers and hugs to Darlene and all the kids. Your dad was a great guy and will be missed by many especially those who he had the opportunity to coach and teach.

Coach Schaake was a gentleman and a dedicated coach who 'wanted the best' for his team. I am grateful for the opportunities he provided for me as a student and player.

Schaake Family,
I was talking to our father today (George Goff) and he was telling us about his wonderful memories playing football with Bill. He was a kind man that our father thought the world of. He enjoyed their friendship dearly.
So sorry for your loss
Sincerely
George Goff & Family

I still use his term "Miserable Toad". He influenced lots of young people in all he did in the classroom or on the field. He will be missed. Mike Elliott
