We offer our condolences for your loss. Bill and I were classmates at Chadron as well as fellow teachers at Loup City High School. I will always remember his humor, ability to offer good advice and his gardening ability.

Horst Family,
I want to send my condolences. Bill was a great individual who helped/touched many people both as a guidance counselor and as a football coach. I enjoyed our conversations throughout my high school career.
