Bill is survived by his "sweetie" Janice, daughters Jean (Jim), Ann, and Katie (John), and son Tim. Bill and Jan have eight grandchildren and eight great- grandchildren. Bill and Jan were married on October 3, 1953 at St. Raphael’s Church in San Rafael. They moved to Novato in 1956 and in 1963 built a lovely home for their family on a lot adjoining the 5th hole (formerly the 14th) on the Marin Country Club Golf Course. Bill was an active member of the Country Club and played golf two to three times a week. Bill loved golfing with his longtime friends and will be missed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, but surely will be remembered by his buddies at the 19th hole. Bill enjoyed attending his childrens’ many sports activities as well as playing basketball, baseball, and ping-pong in the back yard with his kids. Bill and Jan traveled the world as well as taking his favorite yearly trips to Lake Tahoe and Kauai. A lifelong Marin County resident, Bill graduated from St. Anselm’s Grammar School, St. Ignatius High School, and Santa Clara University. Bill has many lifelong friends from his school years, many dating back to kindergarten, who will remember Bill for his electric personality, love of life and loyalty to the ones he loved. Bill was Chairman of the St. Anthony’s Parish Finance Committee, which he served on for many years. Bill was an active member of the church all his life and will be missed at St. Anthony’s. Bill built a very successful real estate appraisal practice in San Francisco beginning in 1972. He earned the prestigious MAI (Member of Appraisal Institute) designation and was past president of the Institute in 1976. Bill was known in the real estate appraisal field for his integrity and dedication to his craft. We will never forget what they did for us. God bless all of you. Friends of the family are invited to a Memorial Service for Bill at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, located at 1000 Cambridge Street in Novato. The service will be held at 11:00 on Saturday, August 29th. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations in Bill’s name be made to St. Vincent De Paul Conference-St. Anthony’s Parish or to Santa Clara University Class of 1952 Scholarship Fund.
