Deepest sympathies and best wishes from the Dyhrberg brothers. The Getchell family played a huge role in the Westbrook community.

I am saddened to hear the news of Bill's passing. His family is in my thoughts.Bill was a wonderful student, athlete with a kind heart.

May he Rest In Peace prayers to the family

As a member of the class of WHS 1974, I am saddened to hear of Bill's passing. I will always remember him as a great student and athlete and a really nice person. My condolences to his whole family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I find this hard to believe! Bill was such a wonderful person, kind, intelligent, honest and always willing to assist others. Great work ethic and incredibly positive outlook on life with a love for running and fitness. My condolences go to his family who we know he cherished. It was only two weeks ago that he was invited to the gathering in Reading MA but he mentioned in an email he had to attend college with his daughter in Maine. Family first!!! I am lost for words but his legacy will live on through the memories his friends and family. RIP Bill.❤❤ My best to his family - love from Stocky in Melbourne Australia.
There is a great saying a prominent sportsman used here in Australia and I would like someone to ensure it is read at Bills wake for me - "Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It does'nt matter if you are a lion or a gazelle......When the sun comes up, you had better be running." Cheers Bill - love Stocky

Bill - it was an honor and a pleasure to have both worked and run with you on many occasions during our MicroTouch "years" - I always knew I could count on you during the work part and I equally knew I could never beat you at the running part. I understand there are great running trails in the heavens above and I will think of you running on them in the months and years to come. God speed my friend, Geoff Clear

My heart is broken for you all. I treasure the friendship we built over 20 years. I will miss laughing and poking fun at everything with him.

Joan and Zoe,
with much sadness, sending my sincere sympathy -a great great loss.
