His cousins on his mothers side always called him Billy because we all called his Dad Bill. No matter how old he was it was always Billy Wetzel to us. He was the oldest of all the cousins and possibly the tallest. I can remember when he became a state trooper and married Glenda back in 1964. I haven't talked or seen him in many years but always admired and looked up to him as a fine example of what a man should be. He was that with the way he lead his life. He will truly be missed by his family, friends and all who new him. Condolences from his cousin Garry and Barbara Kimmel, Indiana, Pa.
