There was no one who had a more positive influence on the professionals in the title industry and at the American Land Title Association than Bill. Frankly, Bill did more professionally in retirement than most people do in the prime of their career.
We are all better for having Bill's leadership in our lives.
With deepest sympathy,
Michelle and John Korsmo

What a wonderful gentleman. I had the pleasure of working with Bill on ALTA legal matters for several years and, later, I had the pleasure of having Bill serve as a mediator at the DC Superior Court in several business and real estate disputes. He was always so courteous, fair-minded, friendly and engaging. He will be sorely missed.

Bill was a gentleman, a scholar and a dedicated, loving family man. He was my mentor at ALTA. Bill provided guidance and encouragement in shaping my professional career.
To Catherine, the McAuliffe children,
grandchildren and the great-grandson, I am most grateful that Bill McAuliffe crossed my path. Bill was a difference maker - his life was such a gift to so many.
God Bless.
