Bill passed away on Tuesday. Born in Cleveland, OH, he was drafted into the Air Force after graduating high school. He served in the Asia-Pacific Theater during WWII.

Together, they raised, 4 sons (Andrew, Steven, Frederick and Jeffrey).

He will be remembered for his kindness, generosity and sense of humor. He is survived by one sister, 4 sons and 6 grandchildren.

To Bill's family I wanted to say how much he meant to me. I was a young manager at IBM when I got my second management assignment.
It was a tough technology, part science, part artistic flair and part magic.
Bill was one of my most trusted senior team members. He was a good engineer who I looked to for his expertise and his counsel.
I am so sorry for his loss. I know he is loved deeply because I know the kind of man he was. I will be forever in his debt.
With deepest love and respect, Rafael
