I'm sure the College will send out a notice regarding the passing of Bill, but since we have a number of '67 grads on the board, I thought I would post it here...

Bill was a wonderful man and classmate. I got to know more about him as he attended the golf outings that we had during our class reunions.

Please say a prayer for him and his family! May he rest in peace! God Bless!

And even as a day student he entered many dorm rooms, and spent many nights there. Requiescat in pace.

Bill was one of the most engaging & friendly people I met at HC; we went our different ways upon graduation.

Kath & I reunited with him on the 50th reunion bus to Worcester CC; he was much the same.

"A highlight of the last year was when he received a special gift: a signed letter from fellow Holy Cross alumni Anthony Fauci, urging Bill to persevere in the face of his difficulties."

Nice
