Wilhelm was the husband of my beloved aunt Tordis. I never got to know him well. I only met him a couple of times, he would only rarely accompany Tordis on her trips to Norway. I was surprised and glad to find his obituary here, and want to send my love to my cousins Helge and Erik. I don't know if you will see this, but if you do, I want you to know that I think of you and your mom and dad. My best wishes to you both.

I am saddened with the death of "Mr. Schultz". I have many, many fond memories of the times I spent in the Schultz home, always treated as a family member(including a couple of well deserved "swats" to remind Helge and I to straighten up). My love and condolences to Mrs.Schultz,Helge, Eric and the rest of your family. Mike Spencer
