William Thomas Harm, of Schertz, Texas, passed away on December 10, 2025, at the age of 89. He was born on August 3, 1936, in New Haven, Michigan, to Herman and Marie Harm.
William graduated from high school in June 1954 and proudly enlisted in the United States Air Force on September 16, 1954. He faithfully served his country for over 25 years before retiring from the Air Force on October 1, 1979. Following his military retirement, William continued his dedicated service as a civilian employee with the U.S. Army Medical Command, where he worked from August 1986 until February 1, 1999. William married Nancy Cischke on January 29, 1955. Together they raised five children: Thomas, Timothy, Richard, Catherine, and Daniel, all of whom reside in Texas.

He was a co-founder of the Tri-City Baseball League of Universal City, Texas, established in 1986, and previously helped found the Buffalo Valley Youth Association (BVYA) in Schertz, Texas, in August 1974. He served as president of BVYA for two years and generously volunteered as a coach for both the boys’ Pony League baseball team and the girls’ softball team.
