Our family extends our deepest sympathy to yours during this time of loss. We have missed seeing Mr. Schlicher waving to us from the driveway for quite a while. My children will always carry fond memories of the "friendly neighbor in the little truck" while they waited for the school bus in the mornings.
Sincerely,
The Kulp Family

To the Schlicher family:
We only new Bill from the time that we lived on Crown Lane, Powder Valley from 1971 to 1989. He always seemed to be available to plow our driveway after the worst snow storms or provide straw when we needed to cover our newly seeded lawn. In short, whenever we met Bill he had that great smile and personality of a fine human being. Our son always talked of Mr. Schlicher when he drove the school bus. He was a great guy and will be in Gods care.
