An incredible man, an astute diagnostician and clinician, ahead of his time. He did seminal research and co-wrote a book on autologous blood transfusions years before it became an accepted practice. He touched a lot of lives. He was a great teacher.

My thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Bill's family. Even though I haven't seen him in a long time, we was my father's (Frank Dalessandro) cousin and my God father...he was a wonderful man and will be missed.

My prayers to all the family on the loss of a great person. I knew Dr. from Augustana Hospital when I worked there. He was a great, passionate and caring doctor.

We only had the privilege to physically meet Bill a few times, but I feel we know him extremely well due to the amazing stories from Judy of their long amazing life together. This was truly a love affair for the ages! May God be with all of his family and friends.

We met Bill through his amazing wife Judy. He was funny, caring, and had a wonderful spirit. Although we only met him physically twice, We feel we have known him for year through the beautiful stories from Judy. There is not a doubt, theirs was a love affair for the generations. Our prayers go to Judy and all of the family. May God be with all of you! Lisa and Cecil Garcia

I am a graduate of Augustana Hospital (RN). I first met Bill when I was a student nurse (1961-1964). He was highly respected Dr. @ Augustana Hospital. When other Dr.s were having problems they would have a consultation with him. He was instrumental in starting the Coronary Intensive Unit. He introduced me to my husband. My deepest sympathy to Judy & his family. He had a great & productive life.Irene Puder Borg.
