William G. Wetzel ’66

Bill died Nov. 14, 2014, of complications from amyloid light-chain amyloidosis, a rare blood disease that he battled for 18 months. Pam, his wife of more than 50 years, was with him.

Bill came to Princeton from Baldwin High School in Pittsburgh, where he captained the football and basketball teams, played baseball, and sang in the choir.

At Princeton he majored in economics, belonged to Quadrangle, and played freshman football. He served as business manager of the student laundry agency and senior manager of the student pizza agency. He lived off campus with Pam.

Bill spent 18 years in marketing for Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati, the Clorox Co. in Oakland, Calif., and an advertising agency in Atlanta. The final chapter of his career was in management consulting with a specialty in team-building and leadership development. An avid golfer, he loved the outdoors and travel. He and Pam were longtime residents of Dunwoody, Ga.

In addition to Pam, Bill is survived by their daughters, Jill Wetzel and Holly Williams, and their children. The class extends its heartfelt sympathy to all of them.
