Dr. William Nagy was one of my primary internal medicine trainers at Doctors Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. I felt he was always looking after me since he is from my hometown of Youngstown and even went to the same medical school. As Dr. Slick said, he was a real pioneer in the field of osteopathic internal medicine. In my eyes an outstanding leader and role model as a physician and human being. Bill will be missed.

I got to know Bill when we were on the Board of Directors of the American College of Osteopathic Internists. He was one of the great pioneers of osteopathic internal medicine. He gained the upmost respect of his colleagues. It was his suggestion that we formed the Grover Gillum Society that honored those that were life long leaders in the ACOI. It is outstanding people like Bill that will be surely missed. My deepest condolences to the Nagy family. He was a great friend.

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.
