William J. "Bill" Holtz

I am saddened by Bill's passing. I served with Bill at Sheppard AFB in the late 60's. One time, 3 of us were sent to Chanute AFB in Rantoul, Ill on an assignment to teach a class. The officer's club was closed for repair and our only meal would be pizza that gets cut into 8 pieces. The third guy volunteered to let Bill and I eat a third piece which we both accepted quickly to the dismay of the third guy who really expected us to refuse so he could have the third piece. I always enjoyed Bill's dry and as-you-say sarcastic humor. I lost his email address in a computer crash and was never able to contact him in quite a while. I just thought of him today and queried him on the internet only to find this sad announcement. My condolences to his family who will greatly miss this great man that I have never forgotten. Doug Forrest, Charlotte, NC.

I am so sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy and prayers at this difficult time.

Dear JoAnn,
I am so sorry to learn of your loss of Bill. I just saw him in July and was shocked to see his Obituary. I have many nice memories of working with Bill over the years and was happy to call him a friend. Please know I am praying for you and your family. Love, Nancy
