How we enjoyed living across the street from your folks in Chesterland, so many funny stories we have about them both. It is a honor to have gotten to know them both. We are sorry for the passing of your Dad/ Matt and Megan Passalacqua

I had the great privilege and joy of working with Bill Ginn for 40 years in his roles as board member and then advisor at the Federation for Community Planning (now The Center for Community Solutions). He was kind, firm yet fun, wise yet willing to learn, and ferociously zealous on behalf of what he felt was right. He was a wonderful mentor who always made me smile.

Although tireless in the practice of law, Bill did not confuse the practice with living. In times of trouble, he was ever available to provide or to accept solace. A remarkable man and constant friend.

It was an honor to be mentored by Bill Ginn. Imagine my surprise when I realized I was not the only development professional to be “discovered,” trained and nurtured under his watchful eye. Bill was more than a beloved board member and strong ally; he became a much loved father figure.

I will remember Bill fondly for helping me discover how I could turn my love of nature into a passion for conservation and action.

My deepest condolences to his wonderful family and all...

Thank you for your brave service to our country !
