Capt. William E. Weisbrod

Bill was my idol in high school in Wilmington, and when I talked to him two years ago, more or less, he told me that the prostate cancer was getting away from him, just as it is with me now. He was a good guy, someone whom I looked up to very much. He led the state in scoring in football-wonderful athlete--and drove his "Fordalack" (a Ford with a Cadillac engine) before he crashed it. I just heard yesterday, Oct 16, of his death, and I am so sorry. I will always remember him fondly.

My heartfelt condolences on Bill's passing. Although we met only once, at Joe and Kerry's over Christmas in '07, Kerry always speaks of him fondly and from that I figure he must've been a heckuva guy. I'm really sorry for your loss and that he left you so soon!

Dear Donna and family, I have been praying for you as soon as Edward called Round Island. I always thought Billy was one of the neatest guys I knew. Having a monkey for a pet--that is really quite rare! My greatest joy is that I know that I will see him again in heaven!!! And that my dad is there and the two of them are probably telling stories from long ago! Knowing Billy is is heaven gives me such a peace and settles my heart. The pain of grief is there, but it is bearable knowing he...

Dearest Donna and Family,

Our hearts go out to you ALL, over Bill's sudden death. HOWEVER -- There is a lot of comfort in the fact he was on an adventure that was long awaited and anticipated.

We only first met when you joined the Treasure Coasters RV Group, in your "Gone With The Wind Bus". How fortunate we were to have such wonderful new friends and OH! how quickly 11 years have flown by.

It was evident right away, that everything Bill did was with enthusiasm. ...

Donna, Tracy, Kerry: I was sad and shocked to hear of Bill's sudden passing. When I saw him at the 50th party in August, he was expressing his excitement to experience his Donkey ride down the Grand Canyon. I can't believe he's gone, but at least he was able to live out this experience. Bill was an unbelievable force in our young lives (as Donna you were too). Living on 5th Street and the kindness and nurturing environment you all gave us was never taken for granted. Bill was a unique...

I flew with Captain Bill and I can honestly tell you that he was the "pilot's pilot! He is the reason I am where I am today! He will will live on forever through myself and all the piulots that flew and were trained by him!

Dear Donna, Tracy and Kerri,

I flew with Captain Bill on many occassion and have to admit he is one of the reasons I am where I am today! There is only wonderful memories of every flight with him (not to mention our happy hours at the bar at your house and "Shrimpers.") He was a "pilot's pilot!" He will live on forever through myself and every pilot he flew with and trained. The memories of his life are without a doubt.....priceless.
P.S. Kerri, I am the Donna you met in Key Largo...

Goodbye to one great person our good friend for many many years. Fifth Street will always have a soft spot for us,our introduction to Florida.
We will miss you Bill.
