He was well respected and known for helping others be successful in their own careers.
There are countless ways to describe Bill. He was an outstanding mentor, gracious and strong, a true gentleman who loved to have fun, a terrific human being, a man of profound integrity and incredible kindness. He was known professionally and personally for his wisdom and his wonderful sense of humor, including nicknames that he affectionately used for co-workers, friends, and family.
He loved spending time with family, watching his children participate in volleyball, basketball, football, and dance. Bill enjoyed playing golf and watching college basketball. He was an avid supporter of the Seton Hall Pirates and was a season-ticket holder for almost 30 years. His most cherished activity was spending time on Nantucket with his family.

He is survived by his beloved wife Chris, his adored children Morgan, Devon, Ryan, and Erin; his siblings Julie (Mike) Moran, Bob (Kerri) Stoffel, Peggy (Chris) Pedersen, Kathy (Dave) Jones, and Paul (Tina) Stoffel; and 16 wonderful nieces and nephews, who lovingly called him “Uncle Silly Billy.”
Bill was incredibly humble. He made a huge impact in the lives of everyone he met. He will be terribly missed by more people than he could ever imagine. He has left a beautiful legacy for his family. He set the bar high, not only for his children but for everyone who knew him.
