I have lost a brother.
Bill and I go way back to the NYU school of Engineering and Science and if it were not for ham radio I would have missed out on a wonderful friendship. Times like that won’t come again.
He was a skilled ham radio operator and held quite a few records in his time.
Some other interests were swimming, photography and Harley Davidson motorcycles.
I am at a loss and this was hard to write, but…
Tks for reading
73, (ham radio for best regards etc.)

Jackie,
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and we are sending big hugs. We were not lucky enough to know Bill but he sounds like a fun and interesting man. So thankful you had each other but sad your time together was brief.
Try to take comfort from the precious memories you have and please take care of yourself. We love you.

Hi Jackie
Jeff and Miriam Briggs here from Cape Cod, MASS.
Bill was a dear friend for more than 40 years following our move to the Hudson Valley region of Dutchess County NY in 1982.
I helped him put up his first real antennas at his home on the mountain in Hopewell Jct, NY. We did many things together such as going to the Town Crier Cafe on Beekman Rd to see groups like Seldom Scene, John Hartford, Janis Ian and many others.
We also went to the Virgin Islands in NOV 1987 together to operate a ham radio contest from down there.
Miriam and I will miss his laugh and stories about his motor cycle trip across country not long after 2001. He was a grea friend and we will miss his company.
In memorian…..
Love to you Jackie and thanks for being his lady – he married up as we all know….

Sure have missed seeing Bill and Jackie at church since COVID, and then with his illness. Our hearts and prayers are with you, Jackie. Bill was a fine man and the world is a little smaller without him in it.
Love,

Just heard about Bill’s passing. He was a wonderful person to work with at DTCC. He always was willing to suggest better ways to improve our software & it was a pleasure working together. We would discuss how great skiing was & I remember his wonderful laugh. My true condolences on his passing. To young for sure!
