Remembering Bill since I was 5 years old We were best friends in grade school. our parents called us Mutt and Jeff.My last rememberance was when Bill got out of the Navy he was hell bent on buying a Z 28 Chevy and asked me to go with him dealer shopping. Our careers led us down different paths in our adult life ut fondly remember our good time growing up together May he Rest i Peace in the Glory of Heaven

My thoughts and prayers to all the Flahie's. I just learned of Bill's death. I have many fond memories of growing up with Barb, and thinking it was so cool that she had older brothers and they even talked to us!
Love to you all.

Words cannot describe how I feel right now. I have known Bill since we were both 5 years old in kindergarten at St Catherine's in Toledo Ohio. Bill will always be part of me, living in my memories of all the good and crazy times him and I shared together over the years.
Both being Amateur Radio operators, Bill and I would often talk over the shortwave together even thou we both lived in different parts of the USA.
One interesting tit-bit of information, Bill's amateur radio voice transmission energy is still traveling and moving in outer space today. Over the past years, as the earth rotated and Bill was transmitting, his radio energy was pointed into different directions into the cosmos. Each different transmission of energy will continue traveling indefinitely until it hits an object and is observed. So 1000 years from today if you were on another planet in the universe and had a shortwave receiver turn on, there is a good chance you would receive Bill's voice calling “CQ This is WA8RJN.”
As we say in Amateur Radio, "73s Bill and may your new adventure be QRM free! DE WA8RJN SK"

Bill was my uncle and he was a great man. I wish I would have been able to attend the funeral to give my cousins, aunt , as well as other family members my condolences. I was with my father, Robert Flahie for the last two months of uncle Bill's life, and we spoke with him often. I am honored to have been able to speak with him while he was still here. What I remember most was that he was always strong and well spirited no matter how tough it had gotten. He was a father, a husband, a soldier, as well as a positive force of energy in the universe. And. He was my uncle. Rest in Peace uncle Bill.

Example of Bill's great dry humor...Bill and i were in Home Depot in E Lansing getting plumbing parts and the worker there was giving us trouble about what we were buying and how we were planning the project. Bill quipped; "whatever happened to 'You can do it, we can help'?"

We remember "Bill" fondly as he was best cousins with my brother Larry Logsdon. It's that old saying "boys will be boys" and they lived up to every word bringing worries to both RoseAnn and Evelyn on numerous occasions. I'm touched by Bill's achievements, especially his family accomplishments. He is remembered, fondly, by both of us.
