Just heard of Bill's passing. What creative pioneers all three brothers were! It was a privilege to have known and worked with them at the National Soaring Museum.
Blue skies, Bill

During one of our several chance meetings at the barber shop, Bill sat in the chair, removed his hearing aids, glanced over to me and stated, "I'm off the air".
My sincerest condolences to the entire Schweizer clan.

Family Schweizer,
Bill was one of the finest gentlemen I have ever known. Never an enemy and always caring, giving and sharing. A great man is no longer with us so do savor your cherished and loving memories.
May he rest in peace.
