Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences to all. What an outstanding legacy he leaves behind.

Bill was my "boss" for a few years and then we parted ways, but both stayed in Student Affairs. Once, no longer working side by side, Bill never rested, at UCLA, till he retired. I missed the annual St. Patrick Day gathering for a little R&R. It's been many years since he retired, but I am not surprised that he continues to active in his community. Now, it's time to rest in peace. Hope you run into Naidu. With condolences and best wishes to your surviving family, Jane Permaul

Bill had many friends. I am proud to have known him.

Semper Fi, Devil Dog. You were an outstanding leader ;i was pleased to be on your team at the UCLA Career Center (PCPC). You got the mission accomplished and took care of your people. I and hundreds of others will miss you. Bravo Zulu! Norm Stahl, Lt. Col. of Marines (Retired)

Bill was a very dear friend and admired by everyone he came in contact with over the years. He was very bright with a quick sense of humor. Over the years we drank many glasses of scotch and it was a cut above Trader Joe´s. Rest in peace, good buddy. Gib Poiry

My condolences to Diane and the rest of the family.
