William Forssell Ericson

West Point, 1968

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by John Leland on January 11, 2012:

I studied, played soccer, and chased girls with Bill at USMAPS back in 1963-64 before he went to West Point. He and I first met when we came up together from the 82nd and had jump wings in common. We were very good friends at USMAPS and he was an outstanding leader, very "gung-ho" and I knew back then he would be an excellent officer. I learned of his death a short while back and am still saddened by the loss of a fine man, leader and friend.
Peace to him and all his family.
