Bill Batze was born on October 14, 1941, in
Hamilton, Ohio, the second son of Richard and Priscilla Batze and grew up in
Friant, California. His favorite motto that was saying to everyone was "Make A Great Day". When he was retired at Liberty, Bill remembered birthdays and special occasions of the many "ex-students" he was friends with on
Facebook. Between 2005 and 2017, Bill moved his home after nearly more than 40 years from Brentwood to Oakley. On January 30, 2017, William C. Batze died at his home in Oakley at the age of 75, because of a congestive heart failure in his sleep. ==Legacy==
