Condolences

Condolence From: Andy Demchick
Condolence: Many of my fondest college memories involved Bill. He was like the big brother I never had, always there with advice, a car, or an invitation home with him during school breaks when I couldn't get back to Philadelphia. He always had my back, even during the craziest of times. He will be missed, but will live on in our hearts and in our memories.

Condolence From: Laura Taylor
Condolence: Laura, unfortunately you and I have to face the same sad reality. A life without the men who captured our hearts and made our lives a wonderful and precious adventure. I found deep comfort in listening to the stories other people told which only confirmed that the man I loved was loved and respected by so many others. That I got it right. And so did you. I have not figured out what comes next. If you want keep in touch and we may be able to figure it out together.
You and Megan are in my thoughts and in my prayers.

Condolence: I met Bill through Laura - he was always such a good time and made so many people happy with his jolly outlook. I have some great memories at the OTB, Saugatuck with boat rides and Thunderhead golf course and the nearby lodge where we drank and laughed and enjoyed so much fun. The irony of it all is he had such a big heart. I am glad to know him and he will be missed so much.

Condolence: It is always a sad event one you lose someone who had an impact on your life and for myself it was playing basketball with Bill. He was a terrific scorer on the court and it was difficult to stop him, he was that talented, always a threat to score. While our senior year did not turn out the way we would have liked, I recall the really great time we had as juniors playing as the JV. We had a great record and recorded the first victory over H-F, it was an amazing game. The bus rides to away games were always enlightening as we would discuss so many things, he was in many ways bigger than life, I hope he is at rest and peace.
