Read MoreBill was a tough but fair gentleman - really someone to look up to at IBM. He was the kind of guy that made IBM a better place to work. I'll bet he was a perfectionist at fishing !

Bill was a great guy and we were friends through antiques. We often saw Barbara and Bill at the Emporium, Mapes auctions, and of course antiquing in PA. Bill often said its all dried up and we would all laugh. We had such great finds at all the above places.
Our deepest sympathy to you both......Holly and Karen

Karen, Holly and Family. I am so sorry to hear the loss of your Dad. Bill and Barb were my friends for many years in our antique world and competed many times at auctions for oil lamps. There were a wonderful couple and will be sadly missed.

Remember him well from my childhood. I was a neighbor from across the street at 29 Brookside in Tioga Terrace...left in 1973.
My Parents always spoke well of him.
May he Rest in Peace.
