Bill Schulz, you made a postive difference in the world we live in. You cared so deeply for your fellow Veterans and their families. Your efforts were tireless and your passion was endless. You were a good, kind, generous soul here on earth. I know you are in heaven smiling down upon us and I hope we can all carry on with the work you have started and make you proud. Nobody can fill your shoes but I know you would say” that’s not true anybody can do what I do” but we all know that the fact is never as good as you dear friend.
God Bless your loving family who shared you with all of us, thank you.

IMHO, nobody represented American Legion Post 34 or Local Veterans the way you have. Your dedication remains unrivaled. Stealing from the previous condolence, “You will be missed… You have left this world a much better place.”
Thank you, Bill, for your service to our country (and the Lancaster Community) !!
