So sorry to hear about the loss of such a kind, gentle soul. We will miss seeing Bill sitting in the pew behind us. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Dear Vi and Family: I am very sorry for your loss. I first met Bill, forty years ago, in 1979. I was an engineering student doing my internship at ICL, on Cosby Manor Rd, in Utica. Bill was my boss, and mentor. I will always remember him, as a consummate professional, brilliant, kind, patient, and focused.

We were all committed to our work on Cosby Manor Road, but we often used humor-- usually self deprecating—to temper the pressure of the day. Bill was a master. I often think of his favorite line--- used whenever something unexpectedly went wrong; “Well, we just snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.” Bill's contagious and unmistakable laugh brought joy to many.

I have always been grateful for the years of tutelage and guidance that I had with Bill. He taught me everything I needed to know about how to be a good engineer. What a great man he was.

Thank you for sharing Bill with us. May your faith, family, and friends guide you through this difficult time.

We are so saddened to hear of the Bill's passing away unexpectedly. He was such a funny and kind friend, and added a great deal to the choir rehearsals. We will really miss him and our hearts go out to you and your family during this difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your loss Renee and family, sending my Condolences to you and your family.
