Bill and I were roommates for three years at Yale, then opted for single rooms as seniors. In ROTC, Bill and I were the only two who were not selected for the military honor society, Cannon and Castle. We concluded that must have meant that we were the elite members of the class. So many fun times! So many memories! Rest in Peace, mon ami.

Bill and I were great friends during our Yale years. After graduation we moved apart, I to New Mexico with the Ordnance Corps and Bill to Maryland and New York with the Infantry, as I recall. We reunited decades later, seemingly without missing a beat.

Bill was a wonderful, smart, funny friend, along with Sally. We had not seen each other for many years, but I kept up with him over time with our mutual friend, Leonard Todd.

Love to all of Bill's family, Catharine Roberts

I am so, so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Bill was a high school friend of mine and an important influence. So smart and so fun.

Bill was a high school friend. Our class of 22 students were very close. Bill added so much joy to all of our lives...great humor, piano playing, motivation to learn, storyteller, and an enthusiam for learning and reaching new goals. One of the best.

Bill and I shared four years at Yale and stayed in contact over the years. My condolences to his family. He was a dear friend.

Bill was a friend and mentor, and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. My deepest sympathy for your loss.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to your family at this difficult time. Please find peace in knowing that God understands your grief and that he cares. (1 Peter 5:6,7)
