I was very sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. I worked with him at Chase from 1988 until he left the bank. He was a wonderful man and colleague. He would help out with anything I needed and was helpful in training me as a young analyst. During his last couple of years at JPM he and I sat next to each other and he would keep me laughing with jokes all day long. I shared the news with many of our former colleagues by email and we have been having a “virtual” wake by email. Here are some of the comments that have been shared: He was always such a pleasure to work with - really smart, dedicated, honest and funny. I have never forgotten his buying the large elf costume for Bruce Langenkamp when he was his "secret Santa" for one of Karen's Christmas parties - brilliant! I didn’t work closely with Bill back then but I do remember the man was a gentleman and as a military veteran earned further respect. I as well remember Bill fondly. And as I reflect on my career thus far, I will always be thankful for the opportunities I had in the TMT group to learn so much with a great group of people! He was such a good person! Bill was great to work with and a wonderful sounding board. I really, really enjoyed working with Bill - he taught me the ropes on my first deal I worked on out of credit training and I stayed in touch with him through his Moody's days. This is a surprise. I have to say that of all the places I have worked over the years, this group of you that I first worked with at Chase has been of the highest caliber of integrity, know-how and passion for your job, your clients, and co-workers, and I wish I had appreciated that more. Bill was perfectly emblematic of that spirit, focused on client service and associate development. I will remember him fondly. He was a lovely guy. Really sad news about a wonderful guy Sad news indeed, but sounds like a life well lived! Sad news, indeed, arrived today, as did the wonderful remembrances of a fine group of people. Look at the people on Tracey's list. Twenty, even Thirty, years ago we all met as a group, united, respectful of one another, in a common cause. It’s incredible, yet very real, that we all shared a moment in time. We have moved on throughout, but at one time we all were together. Together with singular (or near singular) purpose. It's a wonderful thing and Bill was a part of that moment. Thank you, Bill, for your contribution and your light will continue to lead us on our journey.
