William Patrick Driscoll

Rest In Eternal Peace, Bill. SPM SUSOL 1977.

Even 14 years after his tragic and untimely death, Bill's memory and legacy live on. I'm one of Bill's many Southwestern Law School classmates and friends, and we often think of him and how his rowdy sense of humor helped many of us get through the challenge that is law school. A group of us met regularly for dinner for several years after law school, and not surprisingly, Bill was always the life of the party, and kept the jokes (and drinks) coming! When a few of us get together for dinner...

I'm just catching this obit for "Billy" almost decade post facto, but have always had good memories from our time together on the USC Rugby team! Ruck on Billy!

I recently learned of Bill's sad recent passing at a La Salle event. I have fond memories of Bill from over two decades ago when we had adjacent lockers at the Pasadena Athletic Club. He was a young lawyer and I was entering law school. He provided great advise. In later years I would occasionally refer him cases and pass along a greeting. My thoughts and prayers are with the family and a wonderful man will be truly missed. - Mike Marlatt

Ludie:
We were shocked and saddened to hear of Bill's passing. You and your daughter, Kelli, are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. We have fond memories of times spent with you and Bill so many years ago. God Bless.....

Ludie,
I am so sad and heartsick for you. I could not make the funeral on Wednesday but was thinking about you. I will call you in a few weeks to see how you are doing and perhaps we could get together soon.

Our tears and prayers are for Bill's family, friends and law practice/staff. Bill, THANK YOU for explaining the Condemnation proceedings to us. Protect and keep watch over your family & friends. Amen.

I never met your dad Kelley, but I know that you hold his joy and laughter in your heart. He shines through your brightness and will remain an essential part of who you are. I am so sorry for your loss and the loss of a man who meant so much to so many. His presence remains in their hearts.

I had an appearance in Los Angeles Superior Court on May 20. Bill was supposed to be there. When it was announced on the record that he had passed away, the case came to a halt as the attorneys present (one of whom was Bill's opposing counsel) cried. If that doesn't say all you need to know about Bill, I don't know what would.
