I have identified myself as Bill's (MOM) brother, as many of us share that distinction as 'brothers" in the Delta fraternity and classmates at St. Francis..wonderful years for all of us that knew Mom. Many of us gather at Lake Champlain each summer to remember those years and Mom in particular..Andy Shank, '71

To the Cramp family. It's still hard to believe you're dad has passed. Such a great guy who was loved by all. I miss our weekly emails talking family , your grandma , and our Saint Francis experiences. I especially miss our Berger trips. He'd fly up to Albany, I'd pick him up at the airport and we'd drive up to Westport have a unbelievable weekend and then back for the flight home. A great guy. He's missed and will always be remembered.
Sincerely. Tom Arthur

Mom I still cherish the memories you made happen. Like the Motorola rides to the Mount and/or to the Rocks; Delta freezer raids often led by the Kitchen Manager on Saturday nights. Well, maybe not just Saturday nights. Ping pong matches in the old house chapter room. I know theres more and hope I got these right. And of course you added a few up in Loretto during the Pig Roasts and again in Westport during Bergers Tournaments. I miss you Mom, but thank goodness I still have the memories you created. Thanks so much. YITBOS Chick

We each compose our own life story as we travel through life, with the hope that we make a difference and have some positive impact. Bill made a difference with his smile, laughter and kindness. Nicknamed "Mom" because he was always concerned about the well being of others. In his quiet unassuming way he made people feel comfortable.
My fondest recollection is of our last gathering at Camp Agnes in Westport. We always have a great time, carrying on, telling stories and reliving our college days. When the week ended as we gathered preparing to leave Bill remarked, "you know this was the BEST time I have ever had." He was right, and it will never be the same without him. We will fill the void as we carry those memories of him in our hearts. I hope he knows how much he was loved.

My condolences to Bill's family.
My father decided that I should go to St. Francis College because he met a group of students in a subway car attending the NITs in Manhattan. He said they were a great group of people.
He was right, and Bill epitomized what he had in mind for me.
Bill, thank you for being my friend and Delta brother. I will miss you. I will miss seeing you in Loretto and in Westport. Rest in peace.

Heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences on the loss of such a sweet and good man. Bill never changed from those wonderful days at St. Francis and I'll always remember his kindness and especially his warm smile. A great loss to your family, but also to the Delta Brothers who cherish their own.

To the Cramp Family, my condolences. Bill( mom as we called him ), will truly be missed. To me he was a VIF( Very Important Friend). I'll miss his humor, quit wit, our trips to Westport sitting by the fire just being crazy and doing the things friends do. May God Bless you my friend.
