WILLIAM McMURTRIE

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

He was a loyal and faithful friend. I wish I had heard about this sooner. I was completely surprised and saddened by his passing.. My husband Pat is up in heaven with him now talking ND’s chances for Saturday against Alabama. Carol Creadon.

Deepest sympathies to the family. Was fortunate to work for WGM in the 80s in Fairfax. Learned so much about the law from him, especially how to have fun: once opposing counsel flipped him off in front of a jury, Judge Sirica exchanged golf tips, when his secretary needed him during a deposition, she’d say the White House was on the phone. He never took himself too seriously, but he did take the clients seriously. Treasured our friendship for forty years. Will miss his...

Our hearts are heavy here at Notre Dame at the loss of our friend Bill. He was so much fun and had many, many stories to tell. We will be glad to have him back on campus amongst his many friends. Rest in peace Bill.

Thoughts and prayers to the family. Maureen Carretta.

Bill was a great man, great attorney, good friend, totally devoted to Notre Dame

God bless him

Bill’s older brother Jim was my parish priest at St Luke’s Church in McLean in 1963-4. Consequently, I knew about Bill long before I met him in 1972 at the Democratic...

Bill was a good friend and I will always remember him.
