My sincere condolences, Anne. Bill was a lovely man with a big Irish heart and a matching sense of humor. I have happy memories of the IPI meetings we all shared. May he rest in peace. Fondly, Sandy Yoffie

Besides being a fellow BC grad, Bill was my first DM with Hallmark Cards back on LI NY. Bill always treated everyone with respect ---- his corporate career was one of dignity and good conscience. Ann ---- Sandy and I send our thoughts and prayers.

My prayers are with the McSweeny family at this time of mourning. Its been a long time since I've seen William he's a wonderful man and will be sadly missed. As a kid growing up with his son Billy, He and Anne always welcomed me to their home. A good man to have known!

Bill, BC '53 and +Larry Maloney, BC '53 were my dear friends at Russian Language School. Those were the days, my friends, we thought they would never end. But they have ended with Bill and Larry in a better world than this one.
