William R. TRIMPE

Mike, I know how much your dad influenced your love for golf. The fact that you could play Miami View had a huge effect also. I'll remember him as the only person who plays faster than me.

I will always remember the friendship Bill and Claire afforded mom and dad. I remember those card-playing weekend nights at the house when they visited and Bill’s loud an joking voice. He always took an interest in how the Zinser kids were doing.
My deepest sympathy,

Terry Zinser

As a child I was awestruck by Uncle Bill's man cave. The house in Cinci sported a basement where a boy longed to come of age amidst a pool table, WWII awards, golf art, and the bar. Surrounded by his family Uncle Bill held court down there and that's how I'll remember him.

This photo is from a visit Uncle Bill and Aunt Claire made to Maryland with my Mom in 1990. The baby is my now 21-year-old son.

I worked with Bill for just 6 years in the early 70s but remember him for his kindness and great sense of humor. He was a ruthless card player, showing no mercy to us younger players. When I started playing golf he offered a set of his old woods free of charge. Even though it has been a long time since I last saw Bill, I mourn him and feel the void left by his passing.

Eileen, Ken & Mike, and Family,
We all loved Uncle Bill dearly and will always remember him with a smile on his face. He and Aunt Claire were wonderful role models of a truly loving family; and he was a sweet and loving companion for my Mom these last few years. My favorite memory is that he always insisted on a kiss on the lips for every greeting -- no worries about germs or colds,and even from the sometimes-reserved Peaker family members! We share your sorrow, but know that he is...
