Donna Ingraham wrote a sympathy message

“My sympathies and prayer's go out to the Switzer family. I always respected Mr. Switzer, as my teacher for four years. He helped me to learn to read more and listen to all kinds of music. Always there to help with any problems and had the most kind heart for all his students. Not just through school years but always there after. Plainwell School Systems found a great well loved teacher, when he came to work there. Thank You Bill, for caring so much and guiding so many in their lives. RIP.”
