William W. Tschetter

Looking at this picture of Billy reminds me of how much he resembled his Dad, my Uncle Bud. As a child I spent a great week with the Tschetter family each summer as our family The Brayers were cousins to Blly through my Mom Catherine Ward Brayer, my Aunt Joan's oldest sister. We would have over nights at the Tschetters, spend days on Lake Ontario around them and all of the Ward families, which were many wonderful cousins to be around. And Billy was a happy little boy running around and always trying to see what Nancy,Eddie, Mary Kay and Lynn were all up to. My sister, Cathy and I spent most of our time with Nancy and Mary Kay because we were so close in age together. Aunt Joan and Uncle Bud's was the hip place to be because Aunt Joan was the youngest sister in my Mother's family ( The Wards ) I haven't been to NY or to Lake Ontario or have seen Billy in about 28-30 yrs. But I'll always remember his great smile and his love for his parents, sisters and brothers. Rest in Peace Billy.

Tom and I spent many Holiday dinners with Billy and he loved talking about his vegetable garden and recipes he used to make. He was always the one to say grace before the meal and always had a pleasant smile on his face. He loved the Red Wings even though he would talk most of the game with Lynn. It was all good. We are happy we were able spend time with him when we lived in the state and sorry he had to pass so young. Our sympathy goes out to Lynn who was very close with him and Chris who did so much for him over the years. Condolences to the rest of the family, he will surely be missed.
