Coach Wohrman was a great guy. Super nice and easy to talk to. Definitely influenced me and many others I’m sure. He was my strength training coach at South Plantation High.

Stranahan Class of '64...fondly remember Coach Wohrman as a steadying influence for me (and the XKE and the Goldfinger dive!)...he tried to talk my wife and I into getting our son PJ into modeling about 20 years ago, following a chance encounter at a Coral Springs park, but PJ didn't want to do it. To the family, thanks for letting us post these memories...you were blessed to have him as a Dad.

Scott, your dad affected many lives-students and co-workers. In many ways, he was bigger than life. I've enjoyed telling and listening to many Bill Wohrman stories. His memory lives on. Bob Dunn, South Plantation High School

Coach Wohrman was a special man, a man amoung men. The many kids that were influenced by his coaching and teaching, but most of all by his integrity. I know he was a very respected gentleman. I remeember how proud he was that he was in the movie "Goldfinger." Stranahan High School Class of "65"

To the family, I received a note from my brother whom asked me to give you a message. Bill & Priscilla LaGasse say "we loved him & followed his career for many years. Please let his family know he empacted out lives. I use to go to his house & jump on his trampoline. We were close. He was awesome and amazing. We are so sorry he didn't live forever!"

What a great guy....I had him for phys ed at Parkway Jr. High if he's the same person. I remember him doing commercials for everready batteries and I thought he did the swan dive in the opening scene of Goldfinger.
One day I was involved in a fight with Leo in seventh grade and coach broke it up. He brought us to his office and asked if we wanted 3 wacks with his paddle, or run around the basketball courts for the rest of the period. One look at his biceps told us to run. They were bigger than my calfs. Ouch.
Thanks for being a great person and coach

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Everyone knew Coach Wohrman and liked him so much. He truly had a full life doing so much more than others do, plus the respect of so many kids that got to know him through all his years of teaching. Rest in peace Coach. I know God is welcoming you with open arms.

My best to the family, I feel like I knew him through his daughter's stories. What a blessed life to have been so involved with people in so many different ways. I'm sure he's holding hands with his wife now.

I had the pleasure of working with Bill one summer teaching PE at Coral Springs High school. He was loved by his students and fellow teachers. My deepest sympathy, Bill Farley
