I am so sorry to hear this. Bill was the best teacher I ever had (grad student at Cornell) and was a huge influence on me as an algebraist. I always considered him a personal friend as well.

Dear Betty,
Please accept my deepest condolences on losing your husband. I'll keep your family in my prayers.
In early 80's I used to sit in Bill's graduate courses. The notes I took had been very helpful to my own research and teaching. I was very impressed by his knowledge and the speed at which he wrote and spoke. No one in our department could exceed him. I also deeply appreciate the friendship from you and Bill. The blue bag you offered me at the baby shower party before my first daughter was born was a nice gift and souvenir-- it had been used for many years and for both girls.
May you find peace and strength in you after this terrible loss. Remember that there are old friends in the Math Department. Please do stop by when you have time.
With best wishes,
Winnie Li

I remember Bill as a very bright but quiet, shy, helpful, and modest colleague. We dd not share a common area of mathematics, but I recall asking him once about how he would prove a certain theorem in algebra. Within a few hours he got back to me with one of the simplest and most elegant proofs that I had ever seen in this area. And it was clear to me that this was his own idea. I only wish that I had gotten to know him better. Frank Deutsch

I want to offer my condolences to the family and loved ones of Dr. Waterhouse. In 1978, I was one of his students in a graduate level abstract algebra course at Penn State. He helped me appreciate the meticulous and complex process of proving things in mathematics. To this day, after almost 40 years, I still remember him as an unforgettable professor at Penn State.
