I think about Bill and remember him everyday. His presence remains strong in my studio and his pottery graces our home and is in use just as he intended.

We extend our condolences to Peter, Carol, and Jane. I was privileged to meet and talk with Bill through Peter and Carol on a visit to Needham in 2000, and thoroughly appreciated his gracious and charming company. I only hope that all family members will feel the comfort of knowing that friends share your sense of loss. Sheila Murphy

I had the pleasure of working for Mr. Ganick these last two years. He and his companion Jane Welt showed me the meaning of true love. I am forever grateful for that experience. Rest in Peace Mr. Ganick.
