Ginny and I met as members of the UM Faculty Women's Club. She was president the year after I was so we spent a lot of time together and always had giggles and fun stuff to share. I admired her for her remarkable ability to do her job with our big organiztion while she was also heaviy involved with Girl Scouts. It took a lot of ambition and ability to do all that she did. With Ginny I met and enjoyed Bill, he was always "such a dear man." The world has lost a good one.

Virgina as dinner friends through the years and enjoyed our many conversations, Virgina & I were both hard of hearing, so that made it even more intersting, we miss our friends & it is hard to say goodbye...

I worked in Rheumatology at the University of Michigan when Dr.Castor was there. He was a wonderful man as well as a doctor. I always enjoyed talking with him and his lovely wife Virginia. May your wonderful memories sustain your through your grief.

Bill was a valued colleague and an exemplar of clinical and academic excellence. My condolences to his family.
