William J. COTTER

I was looking through all the past posts, which was bringing to the front many wonderful memories of "the boy's from Canisius and their families". Very blessed to share times together thanks to my departed husband (Bill Gibbons)

To the Cotter Family, My heartfelt sorrow on Bill's passing. He was a CHS fellow Alumnus, a real gentleman. a fine lawyer. and a man of true values. We will all cherish the memories of him. God bless all of you in this time of sadness

Dear Cotter family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Mr. Cotter was a great friend to our family and he will be greatly missed. Mr. Cotter's commitment to West Side is inspirational. I was just one of thousands that benefitted from his work at the rowing club but I will never forget the man that made it possible.

Dear Mary Ellen and Family,
I had the pleasure of attending Bill's induction ceremony into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame in 2002. His speech was classic Bill.......an eloquent, humorous, and informative narrative that left the crowd wanting more.
He was our family lawyer for years but more importantly a trusted advocate and friend.
May God bless Bill and the Cotter Family.

Betsy & Thomas sorry to hear of your fathers passing. May he rest in peace

Dear Mrs. Mary Ellen and Family

Please accept our sincere sympathy at the loss of your husband and father. Although we did not know him personally, we are certainly aware of his reputation of service to others and devotion to the West Side Rowing Club.

Kevin & Mrs Cotter,

My deepest condolences to the Cotter family for your loss. I have many fond memories of the entire family and the times that we spent with your dad at hockey tournaments, sailing, etc. We will be thinking of you and you're in our prayers.
