Bill died Aug. 17, 2020, at his home in Brandon, Vt. Born in Montclair, N.J., Bill came to Princeton from The Hill School. He rowed on the 150-pound crew all four years, majored in economics, and wrote his thesis on “Operation of Cartels.”  

After graduation Bill spent two years as a Marine artillery officer in the Pacific and then began a long-planned career in resort management as “fountain attendant” at the Skytop Club in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains. Before long, he was working with Laurance Rockefeller and involved in resort properties from Puerto Rico to Wyoming. In 1973 he founded Resorts Management Inc., which developed, managed, and marketed resort properties from France to French Polynesia, with concentration in the Caribbean, and was its president until his retirement in 1998.  

During retirement, he and his wife, Sally Gelhaar Faber, acquired, restored, and managed Land’s End, a 19th-century family compound of four cottages on Lake George, within the Adirondack Park, and made them available for others to rent as a means for funding their restoration and subsequent preservation.  

Predeceased by his wife, Sally, and their daughter, Susan Gober, he is survived by two children and six grandchildren.
