Al has such wonderful memories of Uncle Billy…..he talks of their time “rooming” together during Billy”s senior year in high school….and the cards and letters when Billy was in the Army Aircorp…..the wooden shoes from from Holland that sit on our fireplace hearth…EVERY one of our 11 grandchildren have put those shoes on and tried to “walk” while Al tells them of his wonderful, thougthful Uncle.
Mary Nell…you and Uncle Billy have always been there for us…..we appreciate your loyalty and love. The world is a better place because of Billy Wolz….his personality, his smile, his kindness, his love…..his devotion to family….his love of Country…he is a man we, our children, and grandchildren will always have in our hearts….and we will ALL be together one day in Peace and Love.
We are thankful that Billy Wolz was…and will continue to be….a part of our lives.
With Love,
Donna and Al Delegal

I would like to give my regards to the Wolz family for their loss. It’s during such times that God’s word can give us true comfort. Please note the words of First Corinthians 15:21,22-“For since death is through a man, resurrection of the dead is also through a man. For just as in Adam all are dying so also in the CHRIST all will be made alive…”
