William Orr Swan III

Our BACnet Bill and his "BAC cave" never will be forgotten. Here Bill's ISO WG3 team in Tromso, Norway (2000)

10 years are gone without Bill, my very good old friend.
Here are pictures of Bill from where we live, Bruchsal, a town with a beautyful old castle in Barock style:

With regards to all other friends of Bill.

Dear Reader,
allways when I am in my home office in the basement of our house it reminds me of Bills BAC Cave:

Dear Kathy, Elizabeth, and Heather, it is quite a time ago, but still Bill is in our mind every day.
Not only he was an excellent engineer and person. He also loved the place where we live: Bruchsal (Germany/Baden):

All the best to you

Dear Kathy, Elizabeth, and Heather,
I am thankful for having had the chance to know Bill for quite a good time.
He liked our hometown "Forst in Baden" with its wonderful Baroque castle. I have lost a wonderful, great friend and the global Building Automation community an international active diplomat - he never can be replaced, so it is a real loss to the world.
I also say, a very rare talent.
Please give my condolences to his parents.
Please stay in touch. It's...

I just now learned of Bill's passing, or as I knew him sionnsar.

I have enjoyed many a debate with Bill on various subjects. Often times we were on the same page, but alas there were times we disagreed. However whether we agreed or disagreed, we both treated each other with due respect.

My heart hurts for his absence and He will be missed, but he is in a much better place today. Absent from the body, but present with the Lord, and in the Lords care is where he will be...

Bill was always a perceptive, sensitive, bright, insightful person to interact with on FreeRepublic.com

He was a delight to read and even to spar with.

May God bless all those he loved and who loved him with treasured memories and the comfort only God can provide.

Love from Ayreslea and Duncan, shocked and stunned by your communication on line.
"God of the present moment, God who in Jesus stills the storm and soothes the frantic heart bring you hope and courage as you wait in uncertainty. May God bring you hope that you will be equal to whatever lies ahead.May God bring you courage to endure what cannot be avoided.God's will is health and wholeness you are God and we need you." New Zealand prayerbook

Unfortunately, I only knew Bill through his online contributions to a Web forum we participated in. However, for the the time that that I knew him he infused that website with a wit, humor, and intelligence that will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences to his wife and family. Hopefully they know that William was well-respected and beloved by those of us who never had the fortune to meet him in-person.
