When I saw this photo of Bill it just flooded my mind with memories of his wit and smile and warmth and intelligence. He loved you and it showed every time we were together.
I hope you and the family are well

My sincerest condolences. I am so sorry to hear of this sad news. I am sorry, Bill, that I haven't written to you earlier to keep up on our lives. May you rest in peace.
Bill was a generous and kind person. I never met Bill in person, but we became friends via emails when he showed interest in my neckties back in 2005. I know he was proud of his daughters and loved his family very much.

I met Bill Eisen when I was an undergrad student back in 2011 (maybe 2012). I wanted to be lawyer, but knew very little of what it actually meant to practice law. I learned from him how to think like a lawyer. Far more important, he was generous enough to pay attention to me at a personal level when no one else had before. He was a mentor, and a role model as a human and as a lawyer.
It is very painful to just find out of his passing. It is even more painful that I did not get to express to him how much he impacted my life, and how much of who I am is thanks to him.
I will never forget his humor, his stories, and his smart saying.

I would simply re-echo all the previous kind words. Bill and I met each other on "opposite" sides of the fence and to a mutual standoff. Initially I don't think either of us cared for the other. As time went by and differences of opinion were resolved peacefully, a funny thing happened; we became friends.
I was shocked and very saddened by his sudden passing- and it's now nearly a month later.
I wish his family Godspeed and faster healing from this terrible shock

Dear Susan and family
The sudden news of Bill's passing surprised and saddened me more than I would ever have imagined. Bill was such a kind, sensitive and witty guy whom we will miss dearly.
We were close friends way back in elementary school in University Heights and we spent much time together at each other's slightly chaotic homes in those formative years. We lost close contact when we went to different high school and colleges but were reunited as first year students at Harvard Law School in 1971. I remember when you and he first started dating and he made it clear in his own way to me that you were the girl for him !
Those were tumultuous years in this country's history with Vietnam etc, but they gave Bill plenty of juicy discussion points for his outrageous takes on national politics and on goings on at law school.
Bill was such a smart, witty guy and he would often say things that were completely outrageous but would then give you his sly grin that told you he was mostly having fun with you. That sense of humor was so memorable and unique.
Sad to say that in more recent years we only saw you and him for family events here in Cleveland [ his sister's funeral ]. Would have loved to spend time with the two of you .... sadly such a lost opportunity !
We can only guess and lament your sense of loss and hurt and we send our love in these trying times.
Ike and Joan Yedid

Susan & Family,
I knew Bill in a professional capacity and he was truly one of a kind. A renaissance man who always made complex estate ideas easily understandable. His smile, stories, intellect and kindness were second to none.
Bill will be missed by myself and my clients for not only his creative planning ideas but his for his many, many stories.
A life taken much too soon. His contributions to the legal world will live for many years and all that met him knew a great man.

We just heard the terrible news today. We send heartfelt condolences to the Eisen Family. Bill started out as our lawyer and quickly became our friend. We loved the man. What a joy sharing his intellect while he would solve one of our issues as he thought out loud. The spoken word was a passion for Bill, a vehicle of reason, understanding, judgement, wisdom and wit, fun and humor. May he always be a source of blessing. May his family be comforted somewhat by the outpouring of tributes to this brilliant and wonderful man.

Bill was a very nice man that I met at at Rick's restaurant in York and was always happy to see his happy face and hear what he had to say about the Sox! He died too young but at least now he's up in Heaven with Jan Faucet talking about the Sox and if they win the WS this year he'll Rest In Peace!! Jim Clifford

Dear Eisen Family,
Although I don't believe we've ever met, I knew Bill for many years as a lawyer. We did not know each other at Harvard Law (Bill was a year ahead of me), but some years after graduation, Bill recommended clients to me in Miami. After that, we became good friends, and he was always there to help me whenever I needed help. He helped both of my older son who was at Harvard College, and just about a month ago, he helped my younger son who had just moved to Boston. Even more recently, I spoke to him with our mutual friend, Larry Kullman, when Larry came to visit Miami. He once said to me, "Friendship is forever." I will never forget him. Our family extends its deepest condolences to you on your loss.
Sincerely,
Wayne Cypen

My college roommate, Bill Eisen, was the wittiest and smartest man I have met. He was creative, irreverent and brilliant. His bright light will continue to shine on all of us.

Susan and family, I was saddened to hear the news of Bill's passing. Back in the 70s, I was a secretary at Lourie & Cutler and worked with him for about ten years. He was such an intelligent man but had that side of him that showed he liked to have fun and kid with people. His smile was infectious. He will be missed. Patti Flannery
