[walleyedan]

I'm sorry to hear this. I have been following the story and although I have met Bill a couple of times, I don't know him that well. What I do know is that he is a very talented person and from the people I know, they can't say enough good words about Bill. Deitz, keep me posted on this. I will do whatever I need to also. Can we organize our own search? More boats.....

Our prayers are with you as well,

Just got back in town and learned of this terrible news - was in the store stocking up on stuff for the trip before I left. Certainly I will hold the family and friends in prayer for a good outcome and, like everyone else, if there is anything I can do please let me know.

To Bills Family, if you need us to organize anything please let us know.

Bill is a great guy. I've had a couple conversations where Bill taught me a thing or two Very thoughtful and considerate man!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

[polarsusd81]

I thought I would bring this back up to the front of the forum. Has there been any update on the search for Bill? I haven't heard/seen/read anything on it in a while.

[Corey Bechtold]

I keep praying that something will turn up soon. Bill was a very fun guy to hang around. Lots of jokes and smiles whenever I talked with him. I hope for the best. To Bills family, i'm sure I speak for everyone here, you and Billy are in our thoughts and prayers everyday.

Take care,

To The Top.

Awareness is the best key.

Our prayers are with everyone involved.

[Slyster]

No news after all this time? Hoping for the best.

[Daze Off]

Was in there late last week and there is nothing new to report. Apparently a bunch of people along with the Water Patrol did some additional searching last week with no results.

A sad end, but at least there can be some closure to this. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I would also like to add my deepest sympathy to Bill's family, friends and co-workers. This was not the news I was hoping to hear but I am glad there is some closure. I was never was lucky enough to meet Bill...but I have spent time in the store. I am sure he will be looking down on all of us this season and many more.

[Northlander]

Very sad and my sympathies also go out the the family.

Just read this post on the St. Cloud Times site:

CLEARWATER — Searchers on Wednesday found the body of a Blaine man who has been missing since March, Sherburne County Capt. Steve Doran said.

William Fiebranz, 38, was found in the Mississippi River almost 3 miles south of the Clearwater boat landing. Fiebranz’s pickup was found at the landing’s parking lot March 29. His wheelchair was found the same day, partially submerged in the Mississippi River.

Members of the Wright County Sheriff’s Office water patrol found Fiebranz. Sherburne County, Clear Lake and Clearwater rescuers also searched the river. Aircraft and sonar was used without success.

An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death. The incident remains under investigation.

[Catcherman]

My deepest sympathies to the Fiebranz and Thorne Bros. families. I had been hoping for better news and am saddened by this. I heard it on the radio only moments ago. God bless you all - you have been in mine and my family's prayers and will continue to be so.

[Scott M]

My sympathies in such a difficult time. I'm sure Bill is building God a custom muskie rod and taking the angels out to throw bucktails on that big lake in the sky. He's onto a better place.

[kaz2611]

My thoughts and prayers go out to Bill's family and also to his many friends and co-workers. I never had a chance to meet Bill but from the many posts on here from those who have sounds like he was a great man and will be deeply missed by all who know him as well as many others GOD BLESS Bills family and friends

[Weed Shark]

I never met him either, from what I've heard, I wish I had. Deepest sympathy to those close to him.
