He graduated from high school at the age of 15 and attended Chicago University at the age of 15. He graduated at the age of 19 and passed The Bar Exam at the age of 20. He enlisted in the United States Air Force as a JAG Officer and was stationed in Ramstein, Germany. It is here he met his wife, Ingeborg “Inge” Ann Bose.
Bill and Inge were married in 1962. They moved from Germany to Montgomery, Alabama, where they lived until 1967, and then moved to Dale City, Virginia.
In 1969, Bill and Inge welcomed their daughter, Carolyn Christine. In 1973, they moved to their home in Alexandria, Virginia. Inge died in their Alexandria home in November 2012. Bill stayed in the home until 2015, when he moved to Fairfax, Virginia. He moved to Tall Oaks Assisted Living in Reston, Virginia, in 2016, and lived there until his death.
Bill retired from the Air Force as a Lieutenant Colonel and continued working for the Federal Government as a lawyer for SIPC. He retired in 1997.
Bill leaves behind his two stepchildren from Inge’s previous marriages, Arthur Thompson and Barbara Griffin; his daughter, Carolyn, Carolyn’s husband, Tim Fink, and Bill and Inge’s only grandchildren, Tyler William, 22, and Caleb Arthur, 18.
Bill loved his family! He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved his four-legged friends, of which he had Inge had MANY!
God Bless You, Bill. You will be missed. We love you.

I saw Bill many times over the years at Tall Oaks. He always, always had a smile on his face. He was quick to say, “Hello!” and had such a cheerful disposition. We lost my mom two weeks ago. I am sad to see that Bill has also passed. The hallways of Tall Oaks will miss him greatly.
Mr. Seckinger always had a smile and a joke for everyone. I spent many a happy days with the Seckinger Family though sleepovers, Birthday parties, recitals, weddings, and the birth of grandchildren!! Mr. Seckinger cooked me my fist over easy egg, it is still my favorite. The Seckinger home was always a great place to be with good food from Mrs. Seckinger, good laughs form Mr.Seckinger and lots of love from the current puppy in residence. Carolyn and her parents are the model of what a loving family feels like. Carolyn I’m very sorry for your loss, cherish your memories of your wonderful Dad, we all loved him.
