Not sure what to say?

Hello, Just doing an arbitrary search and seeing that Bill passed a few years after retirement. To make a long story short- - Bill and I met at Kutztown as assigned roommates in the late Summer of 1973. I remember meeting Bill and his dad for orientation. We were room mates for the freshman year. Great guy, great roommate and dinner companion. We stayed in contact thru the 4-years at Kutztown University. I knew all along Bill was a "special" person. Made to be a coach and educator....

I will always have the fondest memories of Bill. So many of them still make me smile. My condolences to his family.

So sorry for your loss. Thank you for the love you gave in adopting Bosch and for passing that love onto the SNORT Rescue dogs in need. You're clearly a special angel.

I felt very fortunate to have met Bill this past year and was amazed at what a relaxed and friendly person he was. I know he will be truly missed by all those who have known him.

So hard to believe I'll never again hear his trademark greeting every time he came for haircuts of "How are YOU?" It always made me smile. Bill was one of those people who we always enjoyed talking to. He will be hugely missed and remembered forever.Hugs to all who loved him.

Great Allentown Fair

What a swell guy. You will be so missed. Wherever you were there were smiles. We all had so much fun together. You have left us too soon! My deepest condolences Sue -- you two were perfect together! xo

Sorry for your loss, I was a student of his in the 90's. Always fair and quick to help a student. There are many lives he touched.

Bill will be missed by so many. I am grateful to have been able to work with Bill for a few years at NAHS; he was such a gentle soul. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with you all during this time. May the many memories help comfort you. His smile, laughter, and neighborly wave will be missed.
