To a great friend and business associate

February 4, 2019

Hello Jane,

I recently learned of Bill's death. I knew him through my association with the MDRT. Your husband was kind and also a "character"! I hope your tears have been replaced by fond memories. I do know he was very lucky to have you, a strong, independent woman, throughout his lifetime! I wish you well.

Respectfully,

Bill Gettings, Lafayette Indiana

Dear Jane, I was sorry to hear of Bill's death condolences to you, your kids, Mary and all the Wrenshalls. I did not know Bill but loved you as a swim coach. Mary and I knew each other @NA; and my mother and your mother-inlaw golfed at Franklin Park for years. Best wishes and prayers sent your way. ErinMaloney

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Jane. I was traveling afar during this difficult time but my prayers are with you dear old friend. My deepest sympathy. Bill Roerink.

My memories of Bill go all the way back to riding lessons at Northmont Farms in the early 70's. He was always smiling and had such a positive energy. And later, having Jane as my high school swimming coach, watching their relationship blossom was a joy. Two of the finest people I have ever known. My thoughts and prayers are with the whole Wrenshall family.

Jane and Family, I went to Middle School and High School with Bill. We graduated together and this year is our 50th anniversary.
I moved away from Pennsylvania in 1968 and now live in Beaufort, SC.
I am deeply sorry to hear of Bill's passing.
Jeff Barksdale is very faithful at letting us know when one of our classmates have passed. There have been so many. I still consider us as young. Too young to go home yet.
May God console and comfort all of you.

Bill was always the first to say hello at the Oxford Club. Always had a story or a kind word. One of the most positive people I have met. Loved his family and always talked about how proud he was of his children. A true loss.

Jane and family,
Our sympathy to you on Bill's passing. May God and your many friends provide needed comfort.

Whoever wrote in Bill's obit that "Bill was loved by all he met" could not have been more accurate. I was Bill's fraternity brother in Theta Chi at the U of D, and even though I have not spoken with Bill in 45 years, my first feeling when I heard of his death was how much I loved him. I hope Bill's family takes comfort in knowing that their husband/father/friend engendered this kind of affection and respect.

My sincerest condolences to the family.

So sad to hear of Bills passing. He was a true gentleman and a professional in every way. He was one of the leaders at General American and always a positive influence.

Deeply saddened to hear about Bill's passing. Although, we didn't know him well, he touched our lives each week at Oxford with his big smile and greetings. I (Kristina) already felt his loss last Sunday at the pool as he had his routine there. Chris saw him weekly at the 7:30am mass. Just seemed like such a nice man! Had the opportunity to attend the services at Sts. John and Paul this morning. What a beautiful send off ... he would be proud! Thinking of your family, Jane.

Dear Jane and family, I worked with Bill and his dad many, many years ago at General American. We had a great office in Four Gateway Center. Bill always had a smile on his face and a kind word for everyone. Please accept my deepest condolences on your loss.

I am shocked and saddened to hear about Bills passing. I have attended several services for the football players I coached, I feel I have lost one of my own chidren at each service and Bill is one more. I am sending prayers for Jane, their children and grand-chldren. I remeber Billy as a gentleman,a scholar and a person who always went out of his way to say hello. A hard working defensive end on the N/A team and who was familliar with the term "loosen up Wrenshall"
With deepest sympathy and saddness to all the family'

Jane dear, I'll always remember the cook outs on your patio when I would come to visit from Texas or North Carolina. You and Bill were always so attentive to me. Wish I could come and be there for Mary Ann, my sister, and you all, but my health will not allow such a trip. God Bless you and your family and many hugs. Love, Aunt Norine

It was a shock to hear that Bill had died so young. He was a great guy with a wonderful, welcoming smile, and friendly attitude. Every time I saw or spoke to him, he made you feel that you were the one person he was waiting to see. He will be sorely missed by all of us in the North Allegheny Class of 1969. My sincere condolences to his family and close friends.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Bill's passing. We spent many hours together on the links at Allegheny Country Club and at other courses around the country. He always had the right story at the right moment. He always would update us about his family that he loved so dearly, and where his travels would be taking him next in support of one his children. Our sympathies and condolences to the Wrenshall family in their time of loss. Bill was a good guy who is gone too soon. Godspeed, Bill.
