I knew Bill for nearly 70 years, our first contact being in physics class at Princeton University in 1943. A wonderful, full of life, individual who left his mark with all with whom he was acquainted. My deepest sympathies to Rosemary and family.

Bill's gaiety, joie de vivre, formidable intelligence and professional renditions of classic Broadway tunes will be sorely missed. He had the wonderful gift of always making you feel better in his presence. With deepest sympathy to Rosemary, his children and grandchildren.
