Mr. Stranzl was my history teacher in the ninth grade. Along time has passed since then,but I will never forget him,nor his passion for teaching and sharing of his knowledge,his hearty laugh and contagious smile. He was a "real" teacher who had a great gift for reaching his students. I appreciate what he gave to me,my love for history. My condolences to the family for their loss. My thoughts are with you.

Bill was always such a positive, honest, full of energy person. Every year for Lent he would give up beer and drop 14 lbs and waist line! amazing!

Mr. Stranzl was a teacher of mine back in highschool and was not only a good teacher but a great help to me and my studies. I am sure he will be sorely missed. We extend our thoughts and prayers to his family.

William's brother Steve and I attended grade school and high school together. My brother Joe and Bill taught together in Junior High school. One year Bill and his father-in-law stayed at my house when they were in Indianapolis to attend the 500 mile race. My deepest sympathies to all the members of his family.
