WILLIAM H. TULK

Always a smile in class, I took science or biology and talks class and still friends with his daughter Michelle and Wendy, and all over a great guy. Very popular in the school districts. May he rest in peace.

I worked with Bill at Death Valley High in Shoshone, Calif. back in 1971. If I ever felt down, Bill was the guy to see. Always upbeat with a smile on his face, he could make you laugh with his down-home humor or off-beat observations. So long pal, til' we meet again.

I admired Coach during the time I worked at Baker. He was an inspiration to all who knew him.

Just found out about Coach. We lost a great, great man. He was like another father to me, such a wise, warm hearted soul. I loved playing football for him, I loved him picking me up on the bus in the morning and listening to oldies all the way to school. He enriched so many lives, words can't even describe it. God speed Coach, I am so appreciative of what you did for me and others.

Tulk played a great electric gut bucket in The Band!

Mr Tulk was always happy and kind. Its awesome to see how he hes touched so many lives for the better. I pray for my good friends Michelle and Wendy to find Gods comfort at this time in their lives.

My thoughts & prayers go out to all the family. He will be missed by so many. He was a great man. I'm glad I got to see him last may. RIP coach. Jerry S.

Coach Tulk will always be remebered in my heart as a kind, always cheerful man. He is someone that could truly be looked up to.

okay that ? was supposed to be a heart

Bill was very special to our family, he will be in our hearts forever. Prayers and love to you Michelle and Wendy. Rest in Peace Coach Tulk ?

He was a great man, and I was honored to have known him. He was a happy person, and I valued all that he taught me.

The last entry was mine, I forgot to give my name, it is Tari Martin from Horton, Ks.

Will never forget my dear Cousin Bill, always looked forward to his visits to his old hometown, Horton, Kansas. First thing he did when he saw you was to give you a big laugh and a kiss. If any of you former students ever heard him talk about his Uncle Harley, that was my Dad. Oh the fun times they would have. Ever since Bill was a little boy his Uncle Harley took him to all the ballgames, that's where he first loved football, basketball and track. Rain or shine they would go. Will never forget when I was about 14 my family was going to Falls City, Nebr. to eat catfish on a Friday night,Bill was hitchhiking from Peru college to Horton, Ks., it was snowing and he was on a corner in Hiawatha, Ks. and I said Dad, there's Bill, so Dad went around the block and took him with us to eat. He was so excited to see us and he also loved catfish. He loved his family dearly and never missed a summer to come see us and also to spend time with his Brother Ronnie. Will miss him forever till we meet again in Heaven. My Dad and him probably had fun watching the Super Bowl last night in their big easy chairs in Heaven. Love you Wendy, Michelle, and your kids and grandkids. This page is a wonderful tribute to your Dad, so many people loved him as much as we all do. God Bless you.

Great coach, great friend. peace and grace to you. dhook

coach will forever be remembered by me-he had a great smile for everyone-loved the kids so much & taught them even more rest in peach coach

I will always remember the summer I spent with you and the girls. Always in my heart. THANK YOU !!

One of the most Amazing persons I have ever met. Bill always had a smile and a good word for everyone who crossed his path......... I will always remember his smile and great outlook on life.

I was privileged and honored to have called this amazing man Coach, and friend for the last 32 years!!

As an out of place new kid in Baker in 1982, he welcomed me in, made me feel comfortable and got me into sports there. First with Jr High basketball, then into football, and basketball in high school.

He taught me a great many things as a young man, things that I carry with me today, and try to pass on to my children now.

I loved calling him up and just talking to him about football, life, and other general nonsense. And my visits to his house to sit and laugh with him will always be cherished as some of my favorite memories.

He will forever be in my heart and thoughts, and his amazing daughters Wendy & Michele shall always be sisters to me.

Love and miss you coach, and I cannot wait until we meet again in Heaven!

Coach you will be deeply missed. I remember getting my first"C" in your Chemistry class and I was almost in tears b/c I thought it was horrible and that I was gonna get in a lot of trouble at home. You sat me down and told me that if I had fully applied myself, and that was the grade I got, then it wasn't a bad thing. Because I did my best. Then you told me to try a little harder next time, and if I needed any help you'd be glad to help. You were such an inspiration to me, and always so positive and happy. I will never forget the lessons you taught, or the encouragement you gave. I truly believe that I am a better person today thanks to you Coach. Thank you for all the wonderful memories.

I worked with Coach Tulk while teaching at Baker. I greatly admired and respected him. Condolences to his family.

My son Gregory was privileged to have Coach Tulk be his football coach the last year he was the coach . He was a wonderful coach, teacher, and father figure to hundreds of young men.
We were all blessed by knowing him. All of our love and prayers go to his daughters and grand children.

Coach will be missed by so many. He knew how to make you laugh and was a great teacher. He had such great stories and I am so happy to have had him in my life as a teacher and role model. Thanks Michelle and Wendy for sharing your dad with so many. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm so honored to be one of so many to have known one of the greatest, Teacher, Coach, Rolemodel, ect, and Friend to everyone! I will forever miss you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers always... A huge loss for all, but a great gain for heaven. God bless you...

The man gave so much to so many! I will always remember the life lessons he taught us.Thanks for the memories Coach!
Love you and God bless you!

Love ya Coach you touched so many live you will be forever missed

Love ya coach you made a different in so many live you will be forever missed

Though we're not there in person, were with you in spirit. Will never forget when we were young. Love you all!

Coach. The world is a better place for having had you in it. But will feel so empty for so many now that you have gone. I'm inspired by the fact that one man can reach so many lives and make a difference. In high school, I was sure that coach gave me some grades that I did not deserve. So I asked him why. He said "Its not always where your going, its the effort you put into getting there." That will stick with me for the rest of my life. Coach has left a legacy, that will no doubt grow even in his passing. Rest well Coach.

My grandpa was an amazing man, husband,grandfather, great grandfather, father, son, brother, uncle, cousin, friend & COACH. He always had a very warm heart. He touched the lives of everyone who has met him. He could always put a smile on anyone's face. He always told me, "Katie, when I pass, don't cry for me, I lived a great life. I've seen many things, & have been many places". & that is something I will never forget. we all loved him very much. I will always miss him, but I know he isn't sick anymore, & I know he isn't hurting. He is in peace, and looking down. Heaven gained the best angel. I love you grandpa <3

RIP Coach! Time to tell your stories in heaven! Thanks for all the good stories and laughs in class. My condolences to you both Wendy and Michelle. May God heal your hearts and give you strength as you go on with your lives... Xoxo

Coach was a wonderful man. He taught me a lot. He told me my 8th grade year Roger I'm going to make you a football player. I told him i trust him and i would love if he could do that. My Senior year at our award banquet i was receiving my awards he took my hand and said Roger I did it. I asked what's that Coach? He said i made you a football player and I'm very proud of you. I looked him in the eyes and said you remember that he said yes i do. I told him thank you and that I loved him and i would never forget him and the things he taught me. I never forgot him we talked every couple months for the last 20 years i still will never forget him. I love you Coach.

RIP coach Tulk

Joseph Weant Jr student from 1984-1986 science/biology I always looked forward to his classes because I knew it was going to be fun just listening to his stories.
