Dearest Sylvia,
You may not remember me, but in the late 70s I worked with you at Solvay et Cie. I was Dr. Gerlitzky's secretary for about a year.
I was so sad to see that Bill just passed away. I will always remember his (and your) kindness, graciousness and quirky sense of humor. You were so blessed to have a full, wonderful life together. I hope those memories make his passing more bearable with time.
Kindest regards,
Mary Planding (formerly Mary George)
God bless and take care of you Sylvia. Bill is home now.
Silvia,I was so sorry to hear about Bill's passing. He was such a good man and I loved working with him at Lenox. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this very sad time.

Silvia, sorry to hear of the passing of Bill. You have our deepest sympathies. and we'll be there for the services.
Thank you, Bill, for being such a wonderful friend and neighbor. We will always remember sharing meals, stories and laughter with you. Eagles Landing will never be the same.
Grandad Bill will be missed, but always remembered by his loving granddaughter and family. One memory I will never forget is, we spent Christmas in NYC with him and Grand Silvia. Grand Silvia cooked fondue, there a Christmas tree with real lite candles, in the background was the view of the empire state building lite red and green. Grandad was telling a story only he could create of how he found a gold coin at the end of the rainbow. I still have that gold Martin Luther King coin. I will miss his stories. Xoxo
Bill was a fantastic grandad, friend, and chef. I was lucky to spend time with him and Sylvia in Rehobeth Beach on Labor Day weekends and their visits to Texas. He will be missed greatly but never forgotten!
Our sympathies to all the family...especially our dear friend Brenda Mariani and family...in the loss of your dear father...
