From a fellow New England native, Bill was a great guy to work with, and he was always good for a hearty discussion about our beloved Red Sox. I had the awesome opportunity to work regularly with Bill over the past 18 years. I will always remember our R&R  activities, like attending White Sox and Blackhawks games, or even hitting the local pubs around Naperville to catch a game on TV. Bill, you will be missed. God Bless and Rest in Peace my Friend.

Dear Dwyer Family,

I'm very sorry for your loss. Having worked with Bill for many years I saw what a kind, understanding and determined man he was. I can only imagine how much more he applied these traits to his family and friends. 

God Bless.


So sorry to the Dwyer Family for the passing of Bill.  I started working with Bill in 1980 when I joined Coppus in Worcester.  Bill left Coppus in 1979, and I was given his desk.  Working with Bill over the last 40 years has been nothing short of a total pleasure.  He always had a smile when I saw him.  Such a fantastic person.  Bill will be sorely missed.  RIP my Friend.

Dwyer family, 

Condolences on the passing of Bill.   I work at Siemens in Burlington, Iowa (former Murray turbines) and I was fortunate to be able to spend time with him through the years at conferences & project meetings.   He was a great guy and I was able to learn a lot from him.   He will definitely be missed.

Regards, 
Tim Jameson & family

I was Bill's roommate our senior year at Norwich and he was a hell of a guy. As an engineering major he always had his nose in the books but during that year we managed to have a lot of fun, including a number of Saturday night trips to the night clubs at the various ski resorts in Vermont. It was even more fun trying to get home in Bill's old car after a night in the clubs. I remember one night we had to drive home by moonlight because his alternator didn't work and we had to turn off the lights in order to conserve the battery. Thank God it was a full moon. He will be sorely missed. My heart felt sympathy to his family. Tom "gumper" Williams

Very sorry to hear of Bills passing. We were both in Mechanical Engineering at Norwich University. We started out freshman year with about 45 but were down to 12 or 15 the last two years. We were a very tight group and knew each other well. I can still see Bill taking a Wallace test and working that slide rule.
My condolences to his family. Rest in peace.

My condolences to all of Bill's Family and Friends. I am sad upon learning of Bill's passing.  We were classmates at Norwich University and my memories of him are that he was a friendly, kind, honest and smart aspiring engineer.  He will be missed and remembered by all his NU Classmates when we gather together this fall for a fiftieth reunion.


Camp Casey, Korea circa early 1970s outside the 72nd Armor Regiment HQ.

It is with great sorrow that I read of Bill's passing, it seems like just yesterday we were all sitting in class together. Bill will be missed.

Bill and I served at the same army post off the Demilitarized Zone in South Korea, both as officers in the Second Infantry Division, both married sisters and married both in the Stone Chapel in Camp Casey, Gyeonggi Province, Republic of Korea.  However, Bill was there in the early 70’s and I was there in the early 80’s.
Horse racing and ‘the track’ were a secret back when Bill and I went to the track that Thanksgiving weekend many, many years ago.  He swore me to secrecy, and he did well that day.  
While we lived in Florida, I played golf with Bill when he and “Sister” came to visit.  One day his old ‘lefty’ clubs arrived in the mail.  When I open the box, I saw they were Bill’s and assumed he bought a new set.   By the looks of these clubs, it was a long time between new ones.  I bought this bag to entice him back to Florida to play but, we had played our last round and did not even know it.
Bill went to bed, went to sleep, went with Jesus, went to heaven, went to God.
He passed as he lived his life as a spirit of calm demeanor and quiet strength.
Bill, happy in heaven, God’s blessings be upon you.




Bill was my roommate at Norwich our Sophomore year. I was shocked and saddened when I read of his passing after recently dropping him a note at Christmas concerning our 50th. My wife and I have great memories of him staying with us at Fort Gordon. He was a great kid....

May god bless you and welcome you in open arms.   I enjoyed the years we worked together with Bill and the rest of the team.   God Bless.  Bob Hagen 

I'm going to miss the periodic calls from Bill about some old steam turbine in his territory.  He was always a great rep for the "Murray" and a pleasure to work with.  My deepest sympathies to his family and all those at Somes-Nick.

I only knew Bill through work together on the "Murray" turbine business.  Always enjoyed our conversations and Bill was such a pleasure.  My sincere condolences to the family and his work family.

I was fortunate to have worked with Bill many times over the years and am greatly saddened by his loss. Bill was always a true professional and a talented engineer. He was a joy to work with. My deepest sympathies to all his family and friends.
