Dr. Rosenbaum was someone I grew to know and love over the 15 years I went to see him for counseling. He always had a positive outlook for everything and helped me through some very tough times in my life. He encouraged me to continue writing poetry and songs and not a day goes by that I do not think of him and how he has helped me. He went from a counselor to a friend of mine. He will be greatly missed.

Bill was a beacon bringing peace to many. Now it's his turn to rest in peace. I'm glad I knew him. Sincerely, Cathy Thomason, a STM alumnii and mother of a StM alum.

Mr. Rosenbaum, a teacher and adviser at St. Martin's when I went there, made the world a happier place and graced us all with his smile and that ancient Cadillac that somehow seemed to fit him. Somehow just the sight of this man improved my mood and made my day better; such was his gift of spreading joy.
Condolences for those dear to him and to whom he was close and dear. In time, may your tears turn to laughter as you remember his uplifting presence.

Dr. Rosenbaum was an amazing man who would do anything for his students. He even inspired me to go to graduate school for counseling. Dr. Rosenbaum will be greatly missed everyday.
