Bill was a unique individual who will be sorely missed. I got to know this great American patriot over the last two decades as my late husband, George, and I often socialized and traveled with him and Esther. Among those adventures that come to mind was our vacation together on the Queen Mary and our travels to Newport where we enjoyed a pre-Christmas event at the Vanderbilt Mansion. So many fun-filled dinners together at our homes and at lovely restaurants. Bill really knew how to pick the restaurants as he was a connoisseur of fine foods and obviously of beautiful woman.
Deepest Sympathy to his family and to Esther, his long-time and devoted companion.
Rest In Peace, Dear Friend!

We’ve all had our unique relationships with this man I got to call Dad. He had the gift of seeing the light in each of us and fanning the flames so that we could shine more brightly.he lived well, lived love, and certainly did not live in vain according to Emily Dickinson, who wrote,
“If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one life the aching, I shall not live in vain.
If I can help one fainting robin unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.”
Dad lifted, eased and help so many, and I imagine a common denominator among us is gratitude for all the gifts his “life well lived” bestowed on us.
I used to write him a thank you note each time I was going back to CO after a visit, in the effort to express my gratitude for all of the gifts of that particular trip, big, small, tangible and intangible. Inevitably, I ran out of space on the card long before the list was complete
and the words were never, ever sufficient.
Dad was, and still is, my teacher, mentor, friend, confidant, role model, foundation, security and support system……..
He is my inspiration for generosity, kindness, caring, courage, strength, perseverance, forgiveness and unconditional love……… again, to infinity and beyond.
He lived with such a deep appreciation of life and
could experience its beauty and find the light even during dark times.
So, how can it be that having the honor and blessing of being filled with so many of these gifts for so long, and knowing that this spirit does not die with the human body, (I can see it in all of us who loved him), how can there be such a deep hole in my heart? I guess Dad will continue to teach me as I try to figure that out and refill the hole with memories and living the future in his honor.
Dad shared with me the concept of “psychic income” which he described as the value of the mental/ emotional benefit one could expect to receive from an experience - something to be considered when making decisions and weighted equally, if not more than other factors such as financial risk / benefit. The psychic income of having Dad in my life was beyond what any daughter could hope for, dream of or feel deserving
of.
I’ll sign my last little thank you note the same as all the others, “Infinite love, Dad”.
I’m forever grateful for your life and love, how you lived it and how generously you shared it. You did it so well and I’ll keep your spirit alive in the world by paying forward the tremendous psychic income, (in quality and quantity),I derived from our time together.
Your Stash

My Dad always told me, ‘Keep Calm & Carry On’. That advice has served me well, and continues to serve me well today. The incredible man my Dad was, the gratitude I feel for him teaching me to live a life filled with courage, conviction, hope, strength, honor, humility, selflessness and especially a sense of humor, as well as the depth of love I feel for him, could never adequately be expressed in words; however, I feel this simple poem helps to describe the man I call Dad:
God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea, The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight, The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need, Then God combined these qualities, And when there was nothing more to add, He knew his masterpiece was complete, And so, He called it - DAD.
As I reflect on my Dad’s life, an image of him flirting with the angels and explaining to God how heaven could be more organized comes to mind. I am sure by the time the rest of us get there, he will indeed be president and mentor of some heavenly executive group and undoubtedly be God’s right-hand man.
Rather than a heavy heart however, my heart is full of celebration for the man my Dad was, and still is to me, full of the hope found in the eternal bond of friendship and family, and a heart full of gratitude for the part I was honored to play in a life well lived. Here’s to blue skies and tailwinds Dad. I’ll love you forever.
Love you always Dad,
Lisa

When I was little I wanted to become like Bapa - not only because he *always* had desert OR that he would *always* let me have desert - but because I could tell, he was one of a kind. He was tenacious, loving, passionate, selfness and humorous, and generously gave himself and endless amounts of care in service of others. Knowing him was one of the greatest gifts of my life and I am sure to many others as well. I have so many beautiful memories from my time with Bapa, simple and profound, but always unforgettable. He was someone who I could look to for guidance, support, and SO MUCH love. He never failed to make me laugh, even with the silliest things, like the funny combinations of emojis he used when we texted.
I could write a book about what he taught me, how he shaped me into the person I am today, how much he meant to me and all the things he said that I cherish so much. But I will leave it at this, he will always live in my mind and heart and I will think of him and smile every time I get on a plane, vote, doodle, eat a really good meal, decorate my Christmas tree, travel, have blueberries on my cereal, make a hard decision, send a card to someone special, among so many others.
Bapa, I love you so much, I’ll miss you, and thank you for everything. Rest in peace.
All my love,
Cookie

Bill hired me as his assistant in the 80s - he was one of the best "bosses" I've ever known. I put that in quotes because I feel he treated us equally; we were a team, and he was our leader - a true mentor. He expected us to work hard and knew how to balance that with warmth, humor, support and occasional adventures (like the aforementioned Nantucket plane trip and fish rescue)!
Thank you for sharing Bill with so many people over the years; I will never forget him. He really was a larger-than-life kind of guy. Please know that you have my sincere condolences.

Dear Bill,
You were a special and important person in our lives and will be missed tremendously. You were filled with so much love and knowledge, and enjoyed sharing it with me and my family. We spent many holidays together and shared many family traditions (e.g., your Christmas cookies and our Easter games and more) with each other. Your smile would lite up the room and when you spoke everyone would listen. My wife Christine and you shared many glasses of wine as you talked about food, wine and travel. She appreciates all of those special moments. I will miss our conversations about politics, cars and big tech companies. Bill you were a positive influence and gave good advice to me and my family, especially my children, James Jr. and Lauren. We will miss you always, but knowing you are up in Heaven, at peace watching over us, will give us comfort.
Our deepest sympathy to your family.
The Michels Family

Just about 8 years ago I was shown a photo of this stoic, proud, strong man, standing by the side of his granddaughter at her college graduation. I remember seeing that picture and saying to myself, this is a special man, and thinking, if you are going to be with this girl, you need to be accepted by him. Fast forward a few months, it was time to meet this man, as scared as I was, I needed to make sure to get off on the right foot. I walked in to see this man, as shown by the picture, he was impressive. I was nervous. Britt walked over and introduced me and I shook his hand. We spoke for some time that evening and, minus a few jokes he cracked to lighten the mood and keep me on my toes, I felt warmed and welcomed by the man at the center of the family.
I appreciated the time I was able to spend with him, talking, and listening to him. He was the most intelligent and brilliant man that I had ever met. The more time I spent, the more and more it was evident how much of a family man he was and how much he loved and cared about his family, one I am lucky enough to be a part of and be included in. He made me feel a part of the family as much as anyone, as if I was part of the blood of this beautiful family, even though I was married into it.
He was always sir or grandpa to me, but in due time he became GG-Pa. I had the pleasure of watching him hold all 3 of our children, with a smile from ear to ear, loving every second of spending time with his great grandkids. Most recent, when he held Camryn and told Britt and I how beautiful she was. The last time I really spent time with him, walking him to the car, he told me how beautiful my children are, and how beautiful of a family I have. I will always remember that.
I was blessed to have grandpa in my life for 7 years, and I wish I had him in my life for more. I envy the family for having him in their lives for much longer because he was a truly special man. In that short of a time, he made a mark on my life that I cannot truly express. He has done so much for me as an individual, for my children, and for my family, that I cannot ever thank him enough. He was a special role model, demonstrating and showing me many things, probably without ever knowing it.
One of the biggest things that he had shown me is that loving and taking care of your family in life is everything. I know this from the experience from my family, but grandpa showed it from a different perspective for me. He was selfless and would do anything to help his family and those he loved.
I will forever miss seeing him and hearing, “Hey Joe, how you doing kid?” My own grandfather called me kid and it made it extra special every time getting to see grandpa. I will hold onto that and many more memories I have, as they will always have a special place in my heart and my life.
Sir, thank you for making me feel so warmed and welcomed into your beautiful family, and for all you have done for myself, Britt, and our family. You will always be a special part of my life and I thank you for the times and memories we have had. Rest easy sir. With much love, Joe.

Dear Smith family,
A part of Bill lives in you and all those he loved. Your dad’s whole life has been filled with helping others and leaving footprints on their lives and hearts.
Your dad was a 10 gallon guy, pouring his all into his 10 gallon kids. I remember watching him carefully opening a hand made gift by Meilyn and beaming with 10 gallon pride. I believe she caught that!
Bill encouraged his daughters and their families to become all they could be because it gave them confidence and that's a good thing
Bill is watching over you and he is being held in Jesus’ big ol’ arms, looking into His stunning eyes and feeling the love that only God can give.
Jim and I wish we had known Bill better, however what we do know of him is that he was a mountain of a man with a magnanimous heart.
"I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of his calling —that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that he finds in us, his holy ones!"
Ephesians 1:18
Many hugs,
Rev. and Jim Kennedy (mom and dad Kennedy)

Bill was my boss, mentor and very dear friend. He took a chance on me at the beginning of my career and we subsequently worked together at 4 different companies over almost 20 years. I learned more from Bill than from anyone else I worked with and continued to reach out to him for guidance and advice for many years after our paths diverged. He never disappointed.
But aside from the professional stuff, I have so many unforgettable memories of Bill’s larger than life persona, sense of humor and adventure, love of life and unflappability that make me smile to this day. Like (almost) landing at the wrong airport, in the dark, after an amazing dinner on Nantucket, turning the plane’s beacons and radio off and skedaddling before the very irate control tower could identify us ; like when, after a long day of difficult meetings, flight delays and then cancellation due to a massive snow storm, finding out that there were no rental cars or hotels to be had and then, as we were settling down for the night on some very uncomfortable airport chairs, getting sprayed with foul-smelling, filthy gray water by a malfunctioning floor scrubber, Bill turning to me with his big smile and saying “stick with me, kid, it’s first class all the way”; and like the dark and stormy night we and a small group of accomplices “liberated” a 12 foot stuffed Swordfish weighing well over 100 pounds from the boardroom of a company Bill had recently left (“it’s my *#!* fish”) and then driving very slowly in an odd convoy (tiny car, 9-feet of swordfish sticking out of tiny car, tiny sports car holding up the fish’s tail) to deliver Bill’s fish to its new home above the bar of a local restaurant where it hung for many years after, along with a photograph of Bill and his fish, taken the day he caught it in Florida.
Bill, you were one-of-a-kind and we’ll miss you terribly.

To know my grandpa, was to love him. The wisest, wittiest, most selfless person you ever would have met. Without hesitation, he would give anyone the shirt off his back and the shoes off his feet. There was nothing he loved more than his family, and the feeling was mutual. A proud Navy Vet, pilot, businessman, and above all else, husband, father, grandfather, and GGpa. He persevered in the face of all obstacles, and did so with such grace. I can’t even begin to describe the void he has left behind, but will cherish every memory and carry on his legacy for as long as I shall live. I love you, Grandpa. May you rest in eternal peace.

Dear Daddy,
I was your firstborn daughter, and you were the first man I ever loved. Even after having you for 65 years, the time was not enough. I want to thank you for everything you did to help me to become the person that I am today. Your strength, your guidance and your belief in me gave me the courage to do things that helped to shape my life. My memories of special things with you like our trips to see a show or our Saturday morning breakfasts will never fade. The things that you did with my "boys" always gave me a beautiful sense of family, and for that I am truly grateful.
I could write pages and pages of things about you, but the bottom line is that you are the best dad that a girl could ever want, and I consider myself truly blessed to have been chosen to be yours.
I miss you more than words can say, but I take comfort in the fact that you are now reunited with mommy and all of the family and friends that went before. The coming days will be filled with tears and sorrow, but I know that that's not what you would want. I promise to try to be strong like you were and to find a "happy place" where my memories will comfort me.
I love you forever,
Always,
Lori

Very sad to hear of Uncle Bills passing. He was one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. When I was a kid Uncle Bill came to one of my football games to watch me play. He took us to the movies and horse back riding. And when I got older we went for rides in his BMW and he took me flying.
When as kids we would go to one of those big Polish weddings and even though we had to sit at the “kid’s” table, he kept an eye on us and would come over to make sure we were not getting into too much trouble. (Just enough trouble he would say) Even when the rare food fight got out of hand, although I didn’t think it was all that bad. He danced with Aunt Pat and his girls, and always looked like he was enjoying every moment. Which he was.
When I had the chance to visit with Uncle Bill we would talk about air planes and cars. We’d talk about trips we had taken, and he had been to a lot of places.
What I remember most about him is his laugh, it was a great laugh. He loved to have fun, and he loved a good joke.
He was an amazing Father and Husband, and was a good friend, and the best Uncle you could hope for.
When I became an adult, we lost track of each other for a long time. Life gets in the way I suppose and we all have memories. How many people do you know, where all your memories of them are wonderful?
Uncle Bill is with Aunt Pat now, and my mother and father will be there to greet him, let me tell you they’re going to be having one hell of a party.

In my memory I will keep those summer afternoons in which we sat in the garden to observe the flowers that he liked so much and the deer. You were a very strong and brave man, getting up every morning and doing your things was always very independent, that will be the teaching that I will keep forever in my heart. I hope that from heaven you continue to care for your daughters.dear bill may his soul rest in peace.

"A force to be reckoned with". That is how a friend of mine once described my Dad after meeting him for the first time. And he was. He was a fierce protector and provider for his family and at the same time, a most lovable Teddy Bear of a guy you could ever want to meet. Hence his nickname, Big Bear. He could scare the heck out of you with just a quick glance but melt your heart with puppy dog eyes. And he had a heart of gold. His compassion and generosity knew no bounds. If someone were in trouble, his response was "How can I help". He was a loving husband, amazing Dad, grandfather, great grandfather and friend. His personality was infectious and touched so many people's lives. I could probably write pages about him but I will leave with this. Dad, I hope you know how much you are loved and will be missed by me and countless others. You are and always will be "The Wind Beneath My Wings"
"A father is neither an anchor to hold us back nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way"
Love you always,

Heroes live forever
A simple act of bravery
A selfless single act
Becomes the things of legend
That all began as fact
No one wants to be a hero
The price is far too high
Most just do the basics
Trying to get by
Some will do the impossible
To change the course of fate
Making sure that someone lives
When it almost seems too late
Some may just get lucky
But most pay for their gift
And so heroes live for ever
As their stories we do lift

Bill was my boss and dear friend. He was also a very important mentor as a leader. I learned many valuable lesson in the world of business and sales. I first meet him at General Data Com. He was promoted and became my boss a few years later. He help me become one of the top producers. We both moved on but a few years latter I was asked to join a new company but could not accept it. I recommend him to the founders which turn out to be great for both Bill and the new startup. The company ultimately went public because of the great work he did. I remember when we were having a drink and I said I was very lucky and he said no you were very good. It was a turning point in my life.
I very am very sorry for your loss but I know he loved his daughters and was very proud of them
