My thoughts and prayer are with you and your family.
Bob Litz

My childhood memories of Mr. Bechtel were simply that of a selfless, devoted Christian man to his wife and children who always greeted me with a smile and kind words. It has been said that when we die, all we can take with us are our good deeds. Mr. Bechtel will be honored in heaven for a life well lived.

My father was a completely selfless man, who spent his life in service to others. From my early memories of him designing the flag/emblem of our home town District Heights, to 50 years later distributing meals on wheels to shut-ins, his life made our world a better place. I'm truly fortunate to have been his child. He leaves a legacy of kindness and acceptance.
Love you dad, Lisa

We always enjoyed seeing your smiling face at Bay Pointe Dental. You will be missed by the Dr and his staff. God Bless your family during this time.

Brian, deepest sympathies. Sounds like you had a terrific father.

Dad was a just and good man, an excellent husband and a great father. He always exceeded his responsibilities and never expected any praise or recognition. Dad, you will be missed. May you rest in peace.

Dad was a just and good man, an excellent husband and a wonderful father.  He always exceeded his responsibilties and never expected or wanted any praise. He will always be remembered as my unsung hero.  Dad, may you rest in peace.

Bechtel family, trust in the hearer of prayer trusting he will give you help. (Psalm 65:2) I extend my condolence to the family.
