Walter Fydenchuk
My profound sympathy to the Mann family:
You lost a husband, a father, a son and son-in-law and I lost a caring neighbor. Over a year ago, Bill came to my rescue, when I had fallen on the sidewalk with a smashed knee cap. Bill carefully helped me into his car and drove me to the hospital. The Bible refers to such men as Bill Mann, as Good Samaritans. I share your loss,
but I am comforted by the knowledge that such men as Bill Mann, “have walked this earth “and left their mark.
Sincerely, Walter Fydenchuk

My thoughts are with you and have been with you for several days now, Steve, Mike, and Kevin. Tracy, I don’t think we have met and I don’t think I had the pleasure to meet Bill either, but I have taught both Steve and Mike and I currently teach Kevin at SHDHS. Their exceptional character is a tribute to both you and Bill. It is evident that they have been raised by wonderful parents because they are kind, respectful, and responsible young men. I am so sorry that your dad was taken too soon, boys. Don’t let everyone tell you that you have to be strong. It’s okay to feel weak sometimes too. I know you’ll lean on each other and your large circle of friends to get through the coming days. Take care of each other.
