MURRAY, William F., known to many in the Green Bay area by his column, "The Ambler," published in the Brown County Chronicle, died peacefully Saturday, Sept. 28, 2002, at Sister Bay.
Bill's column was filled with reminiscences and personal observations of the local scene and its people. Accompanied by a picture of Bill wearing a safari jacket and an impish grin, a cigar dangling from his mouth, Bill's column captured much of his spirit as raconteur and bon vivant. Always there was a glint in his eye as he offered a story, a limerick, a ditty, a song.
In the later part of his life Bill switched from man-about-town to care-giver, as he attended with great gentleness, patience and love to two wives who needed him and whom he survived.
Bill was born in 1913 in Green Bay to Michael and Teresa Murray, whose family included seven children. He attended Green Bay schools and was a competitive swimmer on the Columbus Club swim team in Green Bay. He remained a swimmer and was an active presence at the Green Bay YMCA almost all his life.
He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he participated heartily in fraternity life. (He never forgot the songs and scatological limericks.) Later in his life he was a barbershop singer.
During World War II he was employed at Leathem Smith shipyards in Sturgeon Bay. Later he was employed as a regional sales manager for Stokley Van Camp, moving to Tampa, Florida, and several other cities. After he returned to Green Bay, he became sales manager of the Brown County Chronicle.
In 1964 Bill married Helen Cambern Irmiger. They lived in Sturgeon Bay, where Bill served as president of the Glidden Drive Association. His devotion and constancy gave Helen a warm and full life during the last 10 years when she was incapacitated. Helen Murray died in 1989. In 1994 he married Louise Torinus. Again his loving attentions were called upon as Louise suffered several illnesses. Louise Torinus Murray died in 2000.
Bill is survived by a sister, Margaret (Robert) Flatley of Green Bay. Bill survived his first wife, Rachel, and is survived by a son, William Francis Murray Jr. of Columbus, Wis., and a daughter, Rachel Nina O'Kelley, Denver, Col.
He also is survived by three stepchildren from his second marriage, Gretchen I. Morrison, Wellesley, Mass., Millicent (Penny) Mitchell, Needham, Mass., and Edward Chadwick Irmiger, Milwaukee; and 12 grandchildren from their marriages.
From his third marriage, Bill is survived by six stepchildren, John B. Torinus Jr., West Bend, Tom Torinus, Baileys Harbor; Chuck Torinus, Aspen, Col., Laurel Culp, Sister Bay; Nancy Neuman, Waupaca, Mark Torinus, Delafield; and 14 grandchildren from their marriages. Visitation will begin at 3 p.m. Wednesday at Resurrection Catholic Church, 333 Hilltop Drive, in Allouez, until time of service. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Wednesday at the church at 4:30 p.m. with Father Paul DeMuth officiating.
Ryan Funeral Home, De Pere, is in charge of arrangements. A memorial fund has been established for Hearthside Cordial Care, where Bill spent the last two years of his life receiving the same loving care and attention which he gave to others. Even in these late years Bill's repartee was quick and fun and he quipped with one of his caregivers about "taking their show on the road."
NELSON, Marie, 100, Green Bay. Arrangements are pending. Lyndahl Funeral Home, 1350 Lombardi Ave., is assisting the family.

SCHINDLER, Paula Germaine 82, the daughter of the late Leopold and Germain (LePriol) Delanois, was born in La Bouverie, Belgium, on March 14, 1920. She met her husband, Harold, in Germany at the close of World War II. They were married during a full military wedding in Frankfort on April 6, 1946. Paula and Harold enjoyed a memorable honeymoon on the French Riviera before making the trip to Harold's hometown in Alpha, Mich. Several years later they moved and made their home in Green Bay, and Paula became a very enthusastic and faithful Packer fan, attending almost all home games. She was a beloved school crossing guard for the city of Green Bay for 14 years and a devoted member of the Bayside Christian Fellowship Church for the past two years. Paula enjoyed spending time with her many friends and family and was well known for her loving and giving nature. She volunteered her time to the Telephone Pioneers, helping at nursing homes and the Salvation Army. She was a Red Cross blood donation volunteer and a member of the Women of the Moose (Green Bay Moose Lodge) since 1988. Paula also enjoyed gardening (both flowers and vegetables), reading and in earlier years hunted and fished by her husband's side, as well as dancing many evening nights out together.
Paula is survived by her four daughters, Sherry (David) Raduenz, Green Bay, Sharon (Bob) Heinritz, Sturgeon Bay, Diane (Gary) Anderson, Newburg, Ore., Michele (Denney) Kelley, Gresham, Ore.; 15 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.
