William “Bill” Hodges Froehner, 81, or Irving, Texas, passed away peacefully Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2022, with his family and friends by his side. Bill was born May 1, 1941, to the late Erwin Froehner and to the late Amy Hodges, in Goose Creek (Baytown), Texas. He was active member in his church and school activities growing up. At a young age Bill decided to join the Boy Scouts of America and earned his Eagle Scout Badge. After graduating from high school in 1957, Bill decided to join the United States Air Force. After his service he earned his Electrical Engineering degree from UTA by attending night school for ten years. Bill worked for Texas Instruments, Bell Helicopter and General Dynamics during his engineering career. He was also a private flight instructor and loved being in the air. He taught at SimuFlight and was in his element being with the other instructors. Later, he formed his own company, TCA Systems, and built and supported computers for small businesses. Bill married Sue Mitchell on March 21, 1964. They were the proud parents of Cassandra Froehner and William Carl Froehner. Bill built the infamous camper and bass boat, and several vacations were taken in the mountains, escaping the Texas heat. Bill and Pam married November 27, 1992, and together were able to raise two wonderful young men, Corey and Kevin. They loved to cruise and travel and were very much looking forward to Pam’s retirement at the end of this year. Several years ago, Bill was able to build a custom sunroom onto his home and an outdoor sitting area and Kitchen. He loved to entertain, and even found a new spot to drink his coffee and spend time with his bride. Bill’s family will remember him by how well he loved. His heart was as BIG as Texas, and he was always available to care for his family and his friends. We are forever grateful that he lived, and he will forever be remembered and missed.
