William C. Martel

Bill, I still have an article of yours to read. What a loss of a great mind and outstanding citizen. We send the
entire Martel family our deepest sympathy.

Without a doubt, Dr. Martel was the most influential person during my graduate education. In fact, if it weren't for his mentorship, advice, and willingness to help, I would not have graduated. He will be greatly missed.

Bill was a very special person and those of us lucky enough to have him as a friend or colleague were especially blessed. Anne and I send our condolence to the family. He leaves a hole in our life.

Thanks for your kindness and positivity, Professor Martel. You will be missed more than you realize.

While other faculty ran for the hills as I struggled to assemble a doctoral committee, Bill asked me one day if I needed an extra reader. That is the kind of person that he was, and that we have lost.

A great teacher and mentor, Professor Martel touched many lives and will be missed by his students. Grateful for his instruction and that our paths crossed in this journey on earth. May he rest in peace.

I will miss Bill greatly. I learned much from him. A photo of Bill and some of his Naval War College students can be found on Pag 43 of the PDF available here:

My prayers and condolences for Bill's family, friends and all whose lives he touched.

A jolly professor and great communicator with a genuine smile that is hard to forget.

Bill was one of my favorite and most inspiring professors and I will miss him dearly. I feel blessed to have studied with and been mentored by him. May he rest in peace and may his family be comforted in their loss.
