My memories of Bill always begin with his broad and genuine smile. To engage him in the hallway was to learn something. The information gleaned almost always revolved around the community he served so lovingly. You can peruse the biography posted with his obituary and get a small sense of the kind of man he was, but you really had to have interacted with him to feel his sincerity and know how kind a man he was. In my years on-air, most mentors struck me as consumed with super-serving the audience to one end…in hopes of superlative sales figures! With Bill; however, you could tell that there was an earnest love of service…TO…the community. We did some wonderful work together on behalf of his beloved Salvation Army. I also remember working the annual Heart Radio-Thons at Notre Dame High School, and from our perch behind the broadcast table you’d inevitably look out amidst the masses and see Bill…working the crowd, setting up guests, and most importantly, keeping a pulse on the community he so adored. As I move through my life experiences, the one lesson I will carry forward courtesy of my tutor and friend Bill Heiderich is this: giving knows no retirement. To his family…thank you for sharing such a beautiful soul with the rest of the world. To my friend Bill, “I will see you again! But not yet… not yet!”

Bill was General Sales Manager of WIBX & WIBQ-FM when I was hired in 1980 as Sales Manger of WIBQ-FM. He was one of my greatest Mentors and one of the finest people I've ever had the privilege to work with. God Bless Him.

Bill was my boss at WIBX many years ago. He was the kindest, gentlest man I have ever known and I will miss him dearly.
Always a smile and a joke or two. Condolences to his family.

I'm very sorry to hear this news. I remember so well those summer vacations our families took together to Cape Cod all those years ago. It was always a pleasure to see Uncle Bill on those rare visits to Utica. Truly a happy man who always had a smile. I'm proud that he was my godfather. My thoughts are with you.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Bill's passing. I have fond memories of the times our families spent together in Cape Cod so many years ago. Bill was always so warm and friendly. This world won't be the same without him. Peace and comfort to Norma, Kurt, Scott and Kim and their families.

It is of deep sadness that I learned of Bil's passing. My heart goes out to Norma and family. Bill was my WW11 buddy. We served in the same outfit and when we had a pass we traveled together from Camp Upton on Long Island to Utica. God be with you, Bill....Herb Dresher [email protected]

I will always remember Bill as a true "gentleman" one of a very few that I have known in the radio business. He was a great sales guy, a great boss and most importantly, just a great guy. Condolences to his family and friends.
