William Howard Holbach

Sometimes you encounter the right person at the right time in your life, and that person has a profound effect on you. So profound that it can't be put into words, because it's not like learning a skill or being helped with a problem or sharing a passion. Knowing that person somehow comes to affect how you see and experience the world and your own place in it. Bill was that person for me. He was more important than any teacher I ever had, any course I ever took, any person I ever worked for or with. Miles and circumstances reduced our connection to phone calls for decades, but nothing could change who he was continued to be in my life.

So sorry to hear of your loss and I know that he will be greatly missed. I served with him in the 282nd Blackcats as a door gunner. Praying for you .
