William KOTHEIMER, Obituary

William "Bill" C. Kotheimer, Sr., at the age of 93, passed from this mortal coil on 30 May 2018 to be with God. Bill was an Army Veteran in Word War II. He spent a long career as an accomplished Electrical Engineer, who developed many of the switch-gear systems that protect our electric power grids. With his wife Anne, he spent much of his retirement exploring the globe traveling to such places as the Pyramids of Egypt, the ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu in the high Andes and even Antarctica. He lived a full life. He and his wife were members of St. Joan of Arc, Catholic Church in Boca Raton. Bill is survived by his wife Anne, his son, Will, his daughter-in-law Jeanette, and grandchildren, Cecelia and Robert. In lieu of flowers, Bill and Anne desire donations be made to the St. Joan of Arc Catholic School Tuition Foundation for a child in need.

I was sad to learn that both my dear Aunt Anne and Uncle Bill passed away recently. I have fond memories of visiting them in Philadelphia when I was growing up, and I remember the many electrical gadgets in Bill's basement, like his oscilloscope and the other test equipment. He also showed me one of the first handheld HP calculators (HP-35 - it only had a two-digit serial number!) which really impressed me as a young engineering student who was still using a slide rule. Although we fell out of touch in later years I will always treasure the memories of the time we spent together.
