William Fielding Frank

William will be remembered and missed also in Switzerland. Back in 2001-2002 he was a PhD jury member for my dissertation at EPFL. Starting from the outset of my PhD research William had continuously kept his interest in it. He shared with me his wide experience in logic: provided important comments on my research ideas, suggestions for improvements of their presentation and valuable literature references. I had been truly grateful to William for this feedback that was always very relevant,...

I loved object modeling with William at Citibank in the late 1990s. He was such fun to chat with and eager to share conversation and learn and share his knowledge with all! He and his brother were gems to work with.

So sad to hear about William's passing from this life. I hired William for an Architectural Review of a replacement for one of our systems at Bank of New York. He did wonderful work and I learned a lot from him. He will be missed .... Tom
