To the Wollenberg family I am so very sorry. Judge Wollenberg was the best. It was a pleasure to work with him at The New Britain courthouse. He made it a joy to go to work and it did the bench proud as one of its finest Judges. His family was lucky to have him and he always spoke of all of you with such pride. He will be deeply missed by all. I will always be grateful to have known Judge Wollenberg and will continue to smile whenever I think of him. I will keep you all in my prayers.

To Nancy and all of the Wollenberg family --

We are all so very saddened to hear of Bill's passing. Between the jokes, the advice and the friendship that he has always showed to our family, we will always share his memory fondly. More than once, the three Anderson boys have had laughs about how he handled one situation or another -- including a wedding in Oklahoma...

I am sorry that we couldn't be there for the funeral but know that he will be in our prayers now and forever. He'll never walk alone.

I cannot begin to explain my feelings for Bill. At different times in my life he was a counselor, a lawyer, a business partner, a teacher, and a life saver. Most of all he was my friend. He was instrumental in my business success, always willing to guide and strengthen me. I will forever cherish the relationship that he had also with my father who loved him dearly.

To the Wollenberg family, my sincerest condolences. Bill was a great leader for you and he will be sorely missed.

To All The Wollenberg Family:

Our prayers are with you. Bill spoke at my mother's funeral, September 8, 2011, at The First Church of Christ, in Farmington. She was a Neuhauser, and Bill told a story about their lives and of their fathers/ grandfathers back in the 1930s or earlier. It was very heartwarming. We know where your family headstone is and will visit it when in Farmington.

May Bill be at Peace with old friends and family. Mother Claire Neuhauser Albrecht, also spoke highly of Bill. We were blessed he was at mother's funeral.

Peace,

Elizabeth and Alfred Flesh
