My deepest sympathy to the Faller family.
When I reflect back to what Bill meant to me personally and to the St. Margaret community,I am awestruck.What he accomplished through his love of coaching basketball was to bring pride and championships to an inner city school. Bill influenced and cared for his players teaching fundamentals and good sportsmanship.You have blessed many and we thank you.

Had the wonderful opportunity to be coached by Bill at St Margarets and then share the coaching bench with him at Central Catholic and Berks Catholic. Will always be thankful for what he taught me as I teach my CYO players. RIP my friend

My deepest condolenses to the Faller family. I played basketball with Bill in the 1960's winning the City Class "C" Championship with The Lucky Stars AA. Bill was a good friend, great player and a really good guy! I enjoyed time with him over the years at the Reading-Berks Old Timers meetings each year. He will be missed by all.

Bill laboured in love of the game in CYO at St. Mags, and at St. Catherine for a dozen years putting many hours for his players,the parents, the parishes, and player development for both Holy Name, Central.

Bill was a joy to discuss the game over a couple of cold ones.
He had many years of superior success in the Reading Recreation Winter and Summer leagues. Bill was a deadly foul shooter and enjoyed both the comrades and opponents. I will always remember the after game review and his friendship. Hail Mary... Bill your favorite prayer on the court and in the pew.

Your efforts, impact and contributions to thousands have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. God rest you dear friend. Your loss is gravely felt. Love Donnie B

We were very sad to read of your Dad's passing. I know he is with your Mom and others who have passed before him. He was a good man and we wish we would have stayed in closer contact with him.
