Dear Sherry and family, I am a retired NE flight attendant. I remember flying with Bill a lot in the old days. I remember his beautiful eyes and great smile. What a gentlemen. I am so very sorry for your loss. God Bless him and your family.

Dear Sherry, David and I were very sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was always such a gentleman. The Spruce Creek Family will always remember him for his love of photography and I believe most have his ariel view of our airport hanging in their home.
Our hearts go out to you and your family and we hope that the cherished memories you share will be a source of comfort to you.
God bless, David & Penny (Long)

I flew with Bill many times. He was a true aviator and a fine man. It is sad to see he is gone at such an young age. He once told me he felt at home in flight. He loved it. God Bless him and all those who have flown West.

Christmas in San Antonio, singing 'Old Cape Cod', 'no reading in my cockpit', fond memories of a guy who was fun to fly and work with. That 'crusty shell' once broken gave me many laughs and great exchanges of ideas. I always asked the guys at Spruce how he was doing. See ya at the permanent layover bar.
Sherry & family,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on Bill's passing. We flew together on the B-767/757 in the mid-80's, and although we didn't always see eye to eye, it was always a pleasure to work with him. Whenever we'd disagree (He'd tell me I was ready to make Capt., but he was the Captain!!), I'd say that I thought my relatives were English and that he was German. Then I'd say, "Bill, you're getting a little German on me again! When he bought me dinner on a layover one night, I knew I had cracked his, at times, crusty shell. Bill had a good heart and he was very good pilot. He is among the last of a dying breed of true aviators. He will be sorely missed.
we flew many flights together he had a penchant for web in dc9..drove me crazy...did not like to wear is hat or button his jacket...but in reality we had a ball together..see ya in heaven bill becker! tom kirby
Sherry,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will continue to pray for your strength and comfort... Loving and caring, Linda.
Sherry and family members,
I flew a lot with Bill and remember him with great fondness. We spent many hours in lively conversation, and I always looked forward to our time together. I live in Hingham, and while you were living in Cohasset Bill arrived at our door on some [now forgotten] mission. Janice, said, after he left, "What a nice guy. He has the biggest feet I've ever seen!" I don't know why I remember that, exactly, but it always makes me smile. I'm very sorry for your loss.
Bill and I spent many hours together in the cockpit in the Navy
and Northeast and Delta. I will miss his friendship. May his family
have the comfort of his being in a higher altitude than he has ever
known. Bless you all.
