            Note to members:  On this page I think it would be a great idea to display, in chronological order, the names of our deceased singers along with a short paragraph about their contribution the club. What do you think?

            Information would have to come from the individual’s family or some other credible source.  It would be interesting to see how far back we can go.



            In Memoriam:
            The Membership of the San Antonio Liederkranz Celebrates and Cherishes the Contributions of:

            William Earl Wheeler

            1925 – 2011
            For more than 24 years, Bill Wheeler shared his musical talents and unwavering faith by singing in the second tenor section of the Liederkranz.  Bill served as President of the Choir in 1996.  He will be most remembered for his joyful spirit, gentle disposition and consistently positive outlook on life.  Always mindful of the Director’s baton, Bill was on key and on time.  It was a pleasure to sing with him.

            George Parham Kirkland, Jr.

            1935 – 2011
            Being an avid lover of music, and having an imaginative talent from his experiences in the local productions Gilbert & Sullivan operettas, George Kirkland inspired our successful “Traditions of Christmas” Concert in 2006.   George sang in the first bass section, pushing all of us toward excellence.  He served as President of the Choir in 2006.
