He came to us from Chaminade High School in Mineola, N.Y., where he was captain of the football team and president of the student council. He majored in chemical engineering and ate at Charter. Bill played on the varsity football team his freshman year, then switched to 150-pound football and was captain of the team. He was a member of the Varsity Club executive committee, the Catholic Club, and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Luch Brush and Bill Starrett were his roommates.

Bill earned a law degree at Seton Hall University in 1957 and practiced patent law at Halcon International until retiring as its vice president in 1985 and forming his own firm in Morristown, N.J. He married Anne Long, and they had five children, Joan, Carol, Robert, Linda ’82, and Richard, and 11 grandchildren. The class sends good wishes to them all.
