Body

Bill died Jan. 12, 2024, in Pompano Beach, Fla.

He came to us from University City High School in St. Louis, Mo., where he was the managing editor of the school newspaper and participated in student government. At Princeton, he majored in economics, dined at Charter Club, and was comptroller of The Daily Princetonian.

Postgraduation, Bill secured a law degree from Washington University and served in the Navy’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps. After practicing private law briefly, he became assistant general counsel and then general counsel for Moog Automotive in St. Louis. He left the corporate world and opened an art consulting business, reflecting his enthusiasm for collecting contemporary American art, a passion he shared with his wife.

While residing in St. Louis, Bill was involved in the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, Food Outreach, and Temple Emanuel. In his later years he enjoyed traveling extensively, particularly to Southeast Asia. In 2005, he moved to Pompano Beach, Fla., quickly connecting with the local community and participating as an avid member of the Fort Lauderdale Bridge Club.

Bill is survived by his children, William and Beth; and sister Betty Kerman. The class extends its condolences to all the family.
