WILLIAM JOSEPH BURNHAM III

Deepest sympathies to the Burnham family. May their memories of Bill help to keep them close, treasuring one another and counting each moment as precious.

TO OUR BEAUTIFUL DEDICATED VILLAGE FAMILY AND FRIEND, BILL.
HOLD ONTO THE WARMTH OF WONDERFUL MEMORIES! WE WILL MISS BILL'S HUMOR. YOUR FRIENDSHIP WILL ALWAYS REMAIN CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS.
LOVE, DOLORES AND JIM TAISEY

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

Condolences to the family. So sorry. But it was his turn, as it will soon be ours. We, those of our generation, have "advanced to the front lines". As in a war - in the battle of life and living - those before us are gone, and it is now our turn to advance to the front lines. We will fall. We have no other choice. It is a given.

These words were Bill's words. He knew and he accepted.

Bill was a good friend. We continued to communicate even after the formal avenues were barricaded. He was bright, clever and refreshing in his outlook and speak. A good, a very good man. I will miss Bill as I still miss his brother, Clem.

The family will remember that to resolve conflict and crisis in a multi female and single bathroom home, Bill once relocated the bathroom mirror to the adjacent hallway. I still laugh when I tell the story so many years later. Even now.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
