Mr. William G. Koellner

I was saddened today to read of Professor Koellner's passing in the Montclair State magazine. Bill (as he asked I call him after graduation) made a clear, positive impact on my attaining my career goal of becoming an actuary, which I will always remember. In particular, early in freshman year in 1973, Bill got to know me - as he did with all his students. When he heard that I planned to become an actuary, he put me in contact with an actuary he knew. As I spoke by phone with that actuary, one of the topics we covered was reviewing which math and non-math courses I would and would not need to take during my years at Montclair in order to become an actuary. Then, 3-1/2 years later, during a job interview, the interviewer was reviewing my resume & transcript and suddenly exclaimed "You took the perfect set of courses!". I smiled to myself, knowing that was the result of Bill's steering me to an excellent resource. Bill was also a wonderful instructor in Calculus whose classes I enjoyed and learned from. I will always fondly remember Professor Koellner and his many contributions to my success as an actuary.

For Kevin Koellner and Family. I was sorry to just learn of your Father's passing. May his memory be a blessing. Gene Saks

Mr Koellner was an inspiration to myself and many women at Hillside High who became math majors in college because of his encouragement.
Sorry for your loss.

Our deepest sympathy to Dolores and the family. He will be missed at the Cranford Senior Tai Chi class.

My uncle lived a long, fulfilling life with many accomplishments. His journey is complete. May he Rest In Peace.

My sincerest condolences to the Koellner family. I first met Bill and Dolores over 40 years ago as a student at Holy Cross in Worcester, MA, where I was friends and classmates with Kevin. We had fun with them both on Parents' Weekends, and I remember Bill as a brilliant man and a true gentleman. May your faith in the risen Lord sustain you in this time of sorrow. - Jake, Connecticut

Lenhome Drive North will certainly miss Bill-
Our deepest sympathy and prayers to the family.
