Sad news. Bill opened up his home to so many young people at RPI. He has left us here but he will be be forgotten.

Wow, so great to see these heartfelt entries. Bill was as genuine as they come! Loved that guy. Bill, you were one of my most loyal and trustworthy friends, and such a big part of the RPI hockey family and tradition. Bill, Guillermo, "Guy" "Ma" will be missed by so many who appreciated him for what he was. They sure broke the mould when they made you Guy. You will be missed dearly by my family and me, and you will always remain in our hearts.

Bill, may you rest in peace. My era was fortunate to have you there for mentoring us as we got out of line, an open ear when we needed to talk and a passion for the hockey program. Say hi to Mr. RPI (Willie Stanton) when you pass him in heaven. Thanks for all you were to all of us.

Bill, the two years I stayed with you at 68 6'th (with Kitch and 'Cutch) were two of the best of my life. No doubt, Greg, Abbie and Hank agree. Now you've gone to join other great friends, Willie Stanton, Cathy & John Tracey, Doc Pahl, Jack Bestle, Tony Thomas, and other great friends who welcomed us in your homes and made our lives in Troy a cherished memory. You men have a party up there and keep an eye on Willie. Melanie and I will miss you

Bill was always a great supporter of the RPI hockey players. He was someone you would always remember as you looked back on the great hockey years at RPI.
So sorry to hear the news.....he will be remembered with great thoughts and a great guy!!
