Mr. William Osborne Solms

My name is Laurie Albert. Although I did not know Mr. Solms I am praying for him and your family. I am the granddaughter of a soldier buried at the American Cemetery in Margraten, I am grateful for what Mr. Solms did. I honor him this Memorial Day weekend.

John and family,

We are sorry for your loss but know that he lived a good life, fought the good fight and is resting in eternity! It was a pleasure visiting with him and Mrs. Solms during our time in Atlanta. I knew I could depend on a Diet Coke as we chatted. Going with Cam to visit your parents was one of the nice things about living in Atlanta...pulling up that steep driveway and seeing him standing in the back waiting for us....

I am sorry for your loss and am...

To have “Mr. Bill” as my boss for five years was a tremendous blessing in my life. It was a gift from the Lord and I am eternally gratefully for the opportunity to have worked for him. Not only did this employment opportunity touch me but it blessed my daughters as well. I shared with them the love story between “Mr. Bill” and “Ms. Peggy” as I experienced it firsthand every day working in their home. I shared with my daughters the gentleness, kindness, and charitable nature of a man who...

John and family of dear mr William Solms, we were shocked when the news reached us about your father's passing away and at the same time we feel very blessed to have met him while visiting Margraten in september. It was obvious than that it was asking a lot of his energy to come here, but we felt at the same time that he wanted to experience and celebrate the outcome of the oral history project in which he played such a prominent role. On behalve of my co-boardmembers Jo Purnot and Frans...

You will be missed. Thank you for being a wonderful neighbor, friend and gentleman for all those which you enriched by your presence.

From my family, thanks for always being there, and you will remain in our thoughts and prayers, as will be your loved ones. Your family should take solace in knowing that you have always been an...

Dear John and Family,
You dad was an honorable man who lived a long and fulfilling life. You can't really ask for more than that. I know you will miss him terribly. He only rode with me twice, but each time I enjoyed his company. I find comfort in knowing how deep your faith is. I hope we get to talk soon.

DEAR BILL AND FAMILY
I WISH TO EXTEND MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES TO YOU AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY ON THE LOSS OF YOUR FATHER.
IT WAS AN HONOR AND A PLEASURE TO MEET HIM WHILE IN THE NETHERLANDS LAST YEAR.
I WAS IMPRESSED BY HIS SENSE OF HUMOR, HIS LOVE OF LIFE, HIS GENTLENESS, HIS SENSE OF HONOR AND INTEGRITY. I WISH I HAD HAD MORE TIME TO KNOW HIM BETTER.
HIS HE MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR US ALL, AND IT IS A LITTLE DIMINISHED BY HIS PASSING.

Sincere condolences to the family. Reflect on the precious memories you experience over the years to comfort you. Mr. Solms lived a meaningful life, and no doubt made many friends along the way. May the thought of knowing these friends share in your sadness, be of comfort to you.

Dear Harriet, Bill Jr. and Lilly, you've lost someone who was a special part of your family. Your father and grandfather was a truly remarkable man. Peter and I had the honor and the pleasure to know him. We were very sorry to hear about his passing away. We had a greatest respect and gratitude to Bill for accepting us as a part of his wonderful family. We truly hope that your memories of the happier moments will help ease your pain. If there is anything we can do for you at this difficult...
