"Baron Von Drumeller" is what you will always be to me. What a man!...What a gentleman! I was proud to know you. You were special in so many ways to so many of us. Thank you for being a part of our lives, and thank you for your bravery and honor in definding our freedoms. I will never forget you.

I will really miss Bill...a really great guy. I will miss having a drink together at the American Legion Conferences. Always had a smile for the people he met.

I met Bill quite a while ago at the

VA and then for some time lost contact.

but i had the pleasure of getting to

see him and cut up with him again when

Roger Sullivan brought him back into

my life as he rode him in his wheelchair from point to point in the hospital...

Bill would invariably catch me off

guard before i would spot him and

he would be yelling "Hokie hokie

hokie high, Tech Tech, VPI, solarex

solari, polythech Virginia team team

team!!!!....his joy and the twinkle

in his eye will be missed by many

and by me in particular!..(Bill and i both were Tech grads)

A great patriot and a champion among

men was this fine gentleman.. All

of us will miss his spirit..

May you be at peace with the Lord.

Bill, there are few people that I have known that I could call "special." You were most certainly special. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers and always with that smile that you so easily brought to the faces of those who knew you.

Bill, the last time I enjoyed your company was over a plate of Joe's spaghetti with the Sullivans, and that will remain a cherished memory. I thank you for your honorable service to this great country of ours, and I thank you for that genuine twinkle in your eyes. With many others, I will miss you.

FAREWELL BARON. YOU WERE A REAL AMERICAN HERO.

There are few people in this world that have the innate ability to leave a mark on the hearts of all that they meet. "Drummy" certainly had that ability. From the first moment I met him, he provided me with endless stories, poems, and wisdom - things that are forever entrapped in my memory. He has been a true friend to me, and I will miss him dearly.

My prayer for you is that you find eternal peace and you will be able to design in heaven!

It was my good fortune to have known Bill and have the opportunity to talk with him on many occassions. He was one of the most caring, compassionate and interesting men I have ever met. He is not a person I will soon forget. We will miss him.
