William Schell

Bill was born April 29, 1931, to Vincent and Cathleen Schell, in Milbank, SD, where he grew up and attended school. He then worked on the family farm for a short time before enlisting in the U.S. Army. On August 12, 1958, he married Bernadean Mauch in Ortonville, MN, and together they started a family. Bill drove truck for many years and also played guitar every chance he got. He was an excellent picker, and had a band called the Eldorados. Bill's dog, Digger, and parrots Sid and Dillon were important to him. His strong Christian faith was also very important. He will be dearly missed.

He is also survived by grandchildren, Sarah Twogood, Heather Phillips, Destiny Twogood, Amber Moen, Kenneth Trail, Jr.; and many other grandchildren.
