I'm so sorry for the loss of Bill. I was a classmate and friend of Bill's at Marquette University. I'll always think of him whenever I hear my favorite band, The Avalanches. I discovered the band and listened to their masterpiece album "Since I Left You" for the first time in an engineering class during a group project. Bill was the cool music producer/DJ guy, and it meant a lot when he peeked over and gave approval for the new band I just found. He told me "Yeah I like that album, but I really like their DJ sets. They have a ton of them and they're really good". I listen to those DJ sets every now and then and think of him.
Bill was the unofficial leader of our engineering group projects because of his intellect and charisma. He helped us win 2nd place in a national innovation challenge. He always managed to make us laugh and re-focus if we were having issues with figuring out a project. Here's the link to an article about our Senior Design project where we entered the innovation challenge: https://marquettewire.org/3907209/republican-national-convention/engineering-senior-design-team-improves-computer-network-accessibility/
I also have videos and pictures from the group project. Please DM me for more details on those.

Dear Barb and Kevin,
I'm sorry I'm so late to hear about this. I've been living in New Zealand since 2019. I was just thinking of all the boys and started googling names. I was shocked and terribly saddened to find this page in my search. I don't have to tell you what a magnificent human Billy was (I know he became Bill but I will always know him as Billy). He was an amazing young man. You are an amazing family. I truly feel blessed to have been able to spend so much time with all of you. I am sending you all my love.
Always, Jason

Bill was a very skilled and capable member of our IAM practice at Accenture, and one of the first people I had the pleasure to meet and work with when I joined almost five years ago. We had multiple opportunities to work and interact together and I always found him to be warm, welcoming, and very credible in our area of IT. I was so sorry to hear of his passing and offer my condolences on your loss. We are going to miss Bill and the light he brought to his work; he was someone I would have enjoyed getting to know more deeply.
