William Pritchard

My condolences to all the family. I remember as a very kind and friendly man. He and Vivian were such good friends of my parents, Jerry and Jeanne Larson.

So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was always such a friendly person and had a smile any time I saw him. Cannot count the cars that I bought from Pritchards over the years, and I credit him for that. He was always fair in his trade. When I started my education career by teaching in Britt, I had Maureen as a student. Bill and Vivian were always so supportive of her. My prayers and sympathy to all of the family members.

Dear Pritchard Family, I'm so sorry to hear about Bill. He was quite a character and had a great dry sense of humor. He was very generous and was kind enough to let me stay at their Fl condo years ago. My deepest sympathies, Bill left quite a legacy & created many memories with those who knew him. He was an asset to Britt and he will be missed.

I’m truly sorry for your loss. Although I never had the privilege of meeting Bill in person, I’ve heard enough to know he was a remarkable man and a true pillar of the community. The legacy he built through Pritchard Auto Company and through his family is something to be proud of. Please know my prayers are with you all during this difficult time.”

Bill and Vivian were two of the most down to earth people we have ever met. So kind, so intelligent, so compassionate to everyone. They were so fun to sit down and visit with. We have heavy hearts writing this condolence of your parents. They were some of the best business and family people in the world. May they rest in peace. Your parents really loved their children, grandkids and great grandkids. They talked about them every time Tracy and I would see them.

When I first started working at Pritchards Bill was the first person I would see everyday at the front desk. He would always give me that smile and tell me to get it done. I will never forget his laugh and if it was a good one you knew it. Bill thanks for believing in me and always encouraging me to do my best and when I struggled thanks for giving me the kick to get back on track. I will miss you but will never forget. All my thought and prayers of comfort to the entire Pritchard family may you always be comforted by your memories of Bill. Angie

So sorry to hear about Bill's passing. I was only with Pritchard's for a year but I met many of the Pritchard family while I was there and they were all of them friendly and always willing to listen. I attended a meeting where Bill came in and talked about the power of positive thinking and I still reference that thought process today. My condolences to the Pritchard family.

What a wonderful, fun-loving, and witty man Bill was and I am so grateful to have met him and his wife, Vivian. Their incredible daughter, Sheila invited me to stay with she and her folks on different occasions and Bill always had a warm smile and fun stories to share while his wife was so kind and loving. I pray for the Lord's peace and comfort to surround his family.

Bill was always a lively visitor when he came to St. Thomas to see Viv. His laugh and teasing made him an instant hit with all of our friends and parents. His personality and spirit sure live strong in all his kids. My condolences to Viv and all of her family.
