William Bernstein Schwartz Jr.

I have recently found out about the Ambassador's passing, and just want to let you know that my prayers are with you and your family. I was his massage therapist for 14 years and feel we became close over those years-like a family member to me. I will miss him very much. He was an impressive man and a very kind southerner. I will always hear his deep, resonant voice and remember the fun conversations we had. Take care to you, Mrs. Schwartz, and all your family.

It saddens me to learn about Bill Schwartz II's passing. I'm distantly related to his wife, and he was very helpful in making the connection. His anecdotes were informative, and it appears the apples fell close to the tree. May the Schwartz family be comforted amongst the mourners in Zion & Jerusalem, and know of no more sorrow.

Sonia, I am so sorry to hear about the Ambassador you know I was always his girl at the Sarasota Bay Club. Love Natalie Zanolli

We will miss the Ambassador at Sarasota Bay Club. His deep voice with that distinguished southern drawl would carry through the building. He was a true southern gentleman who never raised his voice to make his point.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you Mrs. Schwartz and to your family.

My sincere condolences to Sonia, Bill Jr and all the family. Ellen Goldstein sent me the article from the Atlanta paper. Biiii was a wonderful, caring and civic-monded gentleman as well as a most devoted husband to you Sonia and a fabulous Father to his three great sons. He will be greatly missed by all who had the honor of knowing him. Lovingly, Ginger Harteveldt Gompecht

Dear Sonia and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Bill. He was a uniquely charming, witty, caring and wonderful man. You and Bill and your children were always favorites of ours at EASTERN.

Much love and sympathy to all of you.
