WILLIAM GOETZ

Every time I visit Manhattan, I always remember the great meals and stimulating conversations we had. I often wonder what he would observe about the messy political scene we have today. I really miss the guy; he was a great friend .... RIP Bill..,

My favorite memory of my Uncle Bill is that I remember spending the day with my Dad and Uncle Bill at the farmer's market in Madison. He was so much fun to start a conversation with. He was a very intelligent man, and he will be missed greatly.
