William Paul Lanza

I only knew him only a short time, but in that time, I came to admire and respect him. The world is lessened by his departure.

One of my greatest experiences in my 20 years as Athletic Director was working with Bill at Woodbridge and his B Soccer teams. He established integrity, teamwork and hard work into his program. This resulted in great results and respect for Bill as a coach, person and leader-winning a VHSL State Championship!

My prayers are with Nancy and family during this difficult period. May God Bless the family and bring His peace to them.

Very Respectfully

Wes Bergazzi

I love refereeing with Bill. He will surely be missed by us in the soccer referee community.

Bill,
You will always be in our thoughts, prayers, and memories. You were a dedicated Marine and a true friend. From our first meeting at Camp Pendleton to tours together in Okinawa, Fort Sill, and Quantico we always had wonderful times with Nancy, Doris and our families. After retirement we became great travel buddies. From Europe to South America and even Egypt we explored the world together and had very interesting experiences, even getting stuck for days in Sigonella, Sicily when our Space A flight was delayed. You are a true Marine Corps buddy forever and our deepest condolences to Nancy and your family.
Tony & Doris
