William Van Trojen

I was lucky to have known Bill for several years in the late 80´s and 90´s. Can´t say I ever met a guy with a bigger heart. And I´ll never forget the great night we had in Vegas playing the mechanical ponies. Bill would bet the horse with the red silks and loudly proclaim "come on you red devil" during the race. I was also fortunate to have met Pat, who like Bill was super friendly with a heart of gold. On behalf of my friends who knew and loved you Bill, rest in peace my friend.

We have known Bill for years and we know we will miss him. We are sorry we could not attend his funeral, but because of the distance, we could not. Pat please be aware our thoughts and love are with you.

I will always remember Bill laughing and enjoying his beer. I loved playing cribbage with him and some of the Oak Harbor gang and of course Pat every Thursday. Bill is just one of those nice people that you are previlged to meet and call a friend. I will miss him very much. Thursdays will not be the same

Mom, It's hard to express my feelings for dad. He was not only my dad, but a friend. He was always there when I needed him. There is an emptiness inside me now.... I love him so very much. I look back on favorite memories that remind me how much we've always meant to each other, and always will.... I am so very proud and lucky that he is my father. We will always have our song...
"Daddy's Little Girl". Please remember I am always here for you mom. I look back at my childhood, I...

We remember the good times old friend and hope to see you again in another world.

Bill and I go "way back" to high school at Cleveland and college at Western. He was a "good guy" who loved to laugh and enjoyed life. He will be missed.

What a great loss for us on this earth to loose a great friend, and how lucky god must be to hold and comfort him in his arms.
Bill, i wish you a 300 in the bowling alley and a "hole in one"on the golf course.
Farewell my friend and may god bless you and all of us down here.
in loving memory always

Bill will be greatly missed by all his friends. Can't believe he's gone.
