Bill died Nov. 26, 2014.
He graduated from the Lawrenceville School, and after Princeton, served in the Army in Korea. His career was in investment banking at White Weld and Paine Webber.
He retired in 1981 to Norfolk, Va., and from there pursued his favorite activities: traveling to Europe twice a year and, in the winter, to Grenada. In Norfolk, he belonged to the Yacht and Country Club and served on the board of directors of the Virginia Opera.
Bill leaves his sister, Nancy, to whom the class sends sympathy.
