I have perennial flowers from the family farm north of Omaha.

I remember Bill directing the National Guard Band a few years ago at Lincoln’s Antelope park band shelter. Rest in Peace Bill.

I was a member of the 43rd Army Band, but never had the pleasure of serving with him, but the legacy he left with the band still carries through it today with the band’s proud tradition of excellence and honor.

Both graduated from Lincoln High, both drafted, both played brass instruments in the army band. Both guarding generals, at the Remagen bridge, both graduates of UNL (on the G I bill?) and had a huge respect for our country and flag. Now I know why we had State Farm insurance for all those years!
Love and respect to your family!

I have known the Splichal family for over 50 years through Bill and Swanee’s son David. I have flowers from Swanee’s family farm north of Omaha. Bill was most proud of his time with the National Guard Band. I remember him leading the band a few years back at Antelope Park!

Your folks were very special to mine and when my job at State Farm took me to California of course I let them know I was in their hood. That’s all it took. I came out to visit and they also open their home to Ed & I when my brother David got married. My son, Cliff witnessed Bill conducting the band in a park in Omaha last summer. So very special. We were in Wyoming camping as we will be next week also, hate to miss his service here in Lincoln. Blessings to all you had amazing parents! I will never forget you, Pam as you babysit me during the 50s and maybe even 60s during our husker football games. Take care and look me up anytime you’re back in Lincoln. Hugs & Prayers.
Ed & Pamela (Orcutt) Trehearn
