William John Pflum

I just learned of your loss. My memory of Jeff and Billy was them running to meet my school bus. My thoughts and prayers

So sad and sorry to hear of Billy's passing. Having grown up as a childhood neighbor of the Pflum family Bill was more of a brother than a friend. My brother and I had so many great adventures with Jeff and Billy that are forever in my memory. My thoughts and prayers are with Bill and his entire family. God bless Billy.

I knew Bill for many years both as my sales representative for Sun Microsystems at Merrill Lynch in New York to being a coworker at a startup in San Francisco. He was one of the best at what he did, he really cared and put an amazing amount of though into everything he did. What a great person he was and what a loss to humanity.

"I have many fond memories of Billy as we were growing up. Summer days in Jamesport, NY playing baseball and basketball, then going for a swim in Peconic Bay off the boat. We had so much fun. Mrs Pflum always made sure we were well fed and staying out of trouble. The years flew by, but any time we spoke it was as if the memories were yesterday!! I will miss him." Robert Gannon

Although I have not seen Bill for several years, I have fond memories of him at our family gatherings. Even after he moved from New York, when we planned these functions, someone would always ask: "Is Bill coming?" He made my family smile and laugh in the best ways. He will never be forgotten!

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend of over 40 years. Bill lived life to the fullest: pursued his dreams with passion and determination; worked hard for his success. He always had a crazy new experience to share, and share he did, in the most detailed and animated fashion. You could swear you were by his side through the whole event...and he always left you laughing.
Bill, I watched you transition from the consummate bachelor to a proud and happy family man. I know how hard you fought to find peace through your prayers and your works. I will miss you, dear friend.

I was very fortunate to have know Bill and shared a deep religious experience with him several years ago. Those of us who came to know him, loved Bill for who he was, a loving doting family man. Bill will be missed by all of us and I pray that he has peace with his Lord and Saviour, Christ Jesus.

A great co worker... Bill was on our team in NY and helped make SUN a success in financial services. We were a bunch of free wheeling pedal to the metal type of managers in those days and Bills ability to be meticulous, no loose ends brought a greater sense of maturity and sophistication to the team... As we grew fast his ability to coach and develop younger folks was superb.. May his memory be a blessing....
