Not sure what to say?

Bill was a great guy & we were lucky to have him team with Badger Trekkers and introduce many students to the extraordinary experience of the wyoming big horn & Bridger wilderness.
We discovered a WW2 air force plane that crashed in 1944 after a climb to 11,000 after spotting a reflection that could only be aluminum or glass. Bill was a very significant part of many lives.

Please accept my sympathy on your loss. He was a great guy and a fantastic and caring teacher. He knew how to engage students and make them think. I worked with him at Falls North from the late 70's till North closed in '84. He was my first Department Chairperson and I learned a lot from him. In my mind I can still see him working away in the Social Studies Office in the back of the library at North. A tremendous intellect, I remember some great discussions about the issues of the time. He...

Sad news. My sympathies go out to Deb and the family. He was a loving husband, Father and GrandFather as well as a great teacher to many. Most of all, he was a fantastic person. We who came in contact with him were made better people for it.

Our parent's lives were so intertwined for so many years. I am so saddened to hear this news and send you all hugs from afar. I will raise a glass of Fresca in Bill's memory - he was a very talented man.

Please accept my deepest sympathies. Mr. Wurster was one of my favorite teachers in high school. I have fond memories of him and his class. Wishing you God's blessings and peace-

So sorry to hear this. Mr Wurster was well liked when I knew him at Falls North in the 70s. Condolences to his family.

When I was a freshman at North, there was a backpacking club called "Badger Trekkers"(not associated with the school), the summer before my freshman yr, I went on a 2wk backpacking trip to the Bighorn Mtns in Wyoming with the Badger Trekkers...Bill Wurster was the advisor for the group...he was one of my favorite teachers, and a great person away from school as well...

So sorry to see the passing of Mr. Wurster. He was my US History teacher @ Memomonee Falls High School,Class of 1961. He was an incredible teacher. Treated us as adults made learning an adventure. Loved when he wore his Yale sweater to class. My sympathies to his wife and family. He will never be forgotten by so many.God Bless

Mr. Wurster was my Economics instructor at Menomonee Falls High School my Senior year in 1969.

On of the few Economics instructors I had in my education experience that made total sense of the subject and made you want to seek a greater understanding.

Our youth today needs more of this special type of individual.

My sincere condolences to family and friends.
