Bro. T. William "Bill" Bolts SM

I never had Brother Bolts as a teacher, but I believe he was at Riordan when I was (1967-1971). I know he made a major contribution to making the school what it was.

He was quite a treasure at Riordan for everyone of us. He lives on in those he helped grow into adulthood. Condolences to his family.

Congratulations on a life well lived with a deep commitment to the Marianist community and charism. My deepest condolences to his family and to the Marianist community. I admire Brother Bolts' life and commitments.

Br. Bolts was such a kind man and a true keeper of the Marianist flame. He loved Archbishop Riordan High School so much and was a great presence. He remembered my husband Gerry O'Driscoll and was very kind to my son Sean O'Driscoll when he was a student. He truly helped to form men of character. He will be missed.

A Crusader, always....

Our family met Brother Bill early in his religious life as a Marianist. His warm welcome and lovely smile greeted us over the many years of his ministry in Northern California, even as he faced physical challenges in recent years. He was so grateful for his family and his Marianist Community. May you rest in Christ´s peace, Brother Bill, as Father Chaminade welcomes you to the Communion of Saints. Fran Kearney, snjm

Thank you for the witness of your vowed religious life as a Marianist Brother, your dedicated service to others inside of the classroom, as well as in other ministries, all in faithful discipleship to Christ and His Church. Requiescat in Pace.

I had classes with you at Serra High. You inspired my love of history. I will forever be thankful.
