Willie, we miss you. We are overwhelmed with sadness at the news of your passing. Our feelings lie in a domain that Wordsworth described as "thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears".
Your inimitable wit, expressed in your chronicles of the Phi Delts, has lightened our hearts and strengthened the bonds among us. For that we all will always be grateful.
Rest in peace Willie, we won't forget you,---- DOUG
"Now we have to grow up again and be serious." It does seem that way, doesn't it? I only knew Big Willie peripherally, while you guys were undergrads and Doug and I were "chaperoning" the parties (for all the beer/booze we could drink). My first really clear memory of him is from a homecoming that we attended a few years later. Big Willie was attired in a most outrageous costume, and I believe I may have asked Doug in some wonderment if perhaps BW was a pimp... That was my first true encounter with his over-the-top personality. Then as these last few years have unfolded, he has exposed as well his truly sensitive and thoughtful side while continuing to entertain you all with his imaginative tales of your escapades. Nobody could assume that mantle ... I kind of feel that you guys should think of some way of honoring his memory -- who else could have brought you guys together the way he has. Certainly contributions to the National Kidney Foundation are in order. How about a small "thanks-for-reuniting-us" plaque at the house (remembering, however, that we can't go putting up a plaque for every Phi who dies from now on, as time takes its toll...)? A tile in Locust Walk in front of the house? Something for his daughters? Or just nurturing and continuing to share your friendships might be enough...
As I said earlier, his comical dubbing of this quiet little Montana farm girl "Goddess Among Penn Coeds" always brings a smile to my face..

I am Chuck Kohauts brother. I had Kidney Cancer. bob met with myself and Chuck and we all had a great dinner then a couple / few beers. Bob helped me prepare for my treatments with Interlukin 2. He didn't mince words and he told me it would not be an easy road. He allowed me to go in to the hospital with eyes wide open. Thanks Bob. I made it through in part because of your honesty and strenght. My doctors tell me I'm clean. God bless you on your journeyBob. I'm going to go have another beer and toast to you. Kevin

As a testament to Bob's humanity, I can recall an incident of real kindness he showed to me.
I had recently joined his company and he was my project manager.
Bob pulled me aside after I had one week of training and said, "Bernie, go into the test system and learn the system before you go an work with the customer. I don't care if you break the system; but, you need to learn how the system works." I eventually learned.
I will always hold Bob in high esteem as a "gentle-hand" with a person he barely knew. He put the 'bottom-line' aside and gave me confidence and time to be useful on his project.
Good Journey, Bob.

Bob was my roommate at the fraternity house at Penn - along with Harry of course - and he was my 'Big Brother' while pledging to be a Phi. Always hilarious and sarcastic to the max, beneath that 'who cares' exterior lurked one of the truly 'good guys' of this world. I'e kept all of the epic emails from his battle with cancer and literally LOL with his version of Phi history. He was one of a kind and will be sorely missed.

So sad his passing. He touched all our lives, adding a heavy dose of both fun and reality. I miss him already. – jesmingle
Man I am sorry to hear that. When I read Jim's note, I felt a tear of sadness for the loss of a friend and Brother - one who helped all of us understand what it is to fight the demon illness - and helped bring all of us Phis and Phi-friends closer together. Bob was such a fighter - and fought the most courageous battle. He was really an extraordinary (and of course, funny) guy.
I know that we will all miss him.
Jim, while I am sorry to hear the news, I know we all appreciate you letting us know.
YITB,
Michael
Jim, thanks for taking the time to write. For each of us Big Willie evokes many different memories, all good. He made us smile. He will be missed well beyond his family - not many can say that. YITB, Ned
Jim - I join you and all of our brothers today with an aching heart, and a great deal of sorrow. Many thanks to you, Steve, John and Ron for sharing all of our goodbyes with Willie. I can see him now, up at the pearly gates with Harry the Monkey, busting St. Peter's chops, that little gleam in his eyes. Nobody could do it like Willie could, and we all looked forward to being the butt of his jokes. Down the road, when we're all together at another reunion, the sorrow will have faded, and we'll continue to find great joy and laughter in recounting the often recounted stories..............

All I could think when I read Jim's note was: Aw, shit. Life just isn't fair.I can only hope that when my time comes, I can go with the grace and humor that Willie showed the last few years.
YITB,

Thanks for the note re Willie and I am so glad he got to visit with you four just prior to his passing. BW really put the Bond in YITB. Bill Heller
I last spoke to Big Willie on the 27th of Feb. Co-Pockl's comment reminded me that I got a laugh out of him when I told him:
'I want to go quietly and in my sleep like my grandfather....not screaming and yelling like his passengers'.
There is a little less character in life now with him gone. My kids loved my stories of Willie and Harry (my date at most of our parties). It was Willie who gave me the name 'Duke" because, at 5'9" and 140 lbs. I looked so much like John Wayne.. I got to study at the feet of the greatest in sarcasm...something that has endeared me to so many former bosses.
No words can fill the void. He had character and he showed it well! He will be missed.
Duke
Each man's death deminishes me because I am of mankind. Therefore when the church bell rings, send ye not to know for whom the bell tolls,
I tolls for thee.
The light is extinguished, the humor and the laughter live.
RIP, Big Wille

I was saddened to hear of Willie's passing. It was heartening to hear that he had his friends and his family with him.

Would you please extend my sympathies to Martha and the rest of his family. He will truly be missed.

I can't express how saddened I am by this news; thank you, Big Willie, for bringing the brothers together the way you have. Now it's up to the rest of you to keep the connections going. No one of you could match Big Willie when it comes to creative writing, but together perhaps you'll keep each other laughing and crying as the future unfolds.
And in truth I am honored at having been included in this crazy wild group. Keep it going, guys, in Big Willie's memory...

Brothers & Sue,
I am sad. We are all sad. There is little I can add to the thoughts and sentiments you all have shared.
We loved Big Willie.
We all have to face our mortality. Let's live our lives to the fullest as he did. Let's make that a tribute to him.
Wishing you and his family peace...
-Greg Zych
We all are saddened and I know Big Willy's courage was fueled in part by his communications with his Phi' brothers, as well as his beloved family. I had a personal e-mail "chat" with him after his prior e-mail and mentioned a book I read as a young buy, "Death Be Not Proud", written by a father to describe the courage and grace his young son showed throughout his struggle with brain cancer. It was like I was reading the story all over again. He was an inspiration to all of us, a life lesson that may help us all when we face our inevitable end.
His note back was a bit subdued for him, he clearly was coming to grips with his fate, but the only regret and concern he expressed was for his wife and kids, and how his death at an early age would impact them.
What a dark cloud hangs over everyone who knew him.
Frank
To All:
Jim brings us the saddest news. It is difficult to believe that the Big Willie who joked with us at recent reunions and regaled us on email is now gone. But he remains with us in our memories and his spirit will live on. Re-reading some of his last communications with us, I am struck by the mix of continuing good humor and calm countenance that he showed in the face of his illness. He fought to the end and he is an inspiration for us all. I do think he drew some support from us and in the process he brought us back together. Let us try to remain in touch as we each head into our 60s.
Yours in the Bond,
Hans
Brothers and Sue,
I too am saddened by Willie's passing; he was a true inspiration to me, as he was to all of us. His chronicles to us of the cancer's progression thru his body, was nothing short of courageous; may we all be as brave when the bad news arrives.
Willie, I will miss you- Rest In Peace.

Sadly is right. I just love this picture of him at a Cubs game with our son Charlie.. He had such a good time that day in July reminding me how inept the Cubs had been throughout history. Not surprisingly, he knew more about them than I did. The world is a less rich place for his death. -- Art
Thanks, Jim, for this news of BW. I am so glad you four were able to visit with him toward the end.. Willy wasn’t in my class so I didn’t really know him well but I sure appreciated his impish humor. He put the “bond” in YITB..Bill Heller
Willie reminded recently me of the one-on-one conversations we used to have in quiet moments at the house. He called them “our little talks”. The topics were personal & varied but usually were about the tactics of dealing with, and tiptoeing through the academic challenges at Penn. (Greek 20, Economic Geography, Soc 6(?) Marriage & the Family). I considered it then & now a great compliment that he would come to me for general counsel & in particular that strategic advice. To a limited extent we revived “our little talks” in the past year or two about his illness & planned recovery. I regret (my bad) that they were fewer than they should have been, and that we never got together – as we often threatened.
Rest in Peace, Willie

Bob was my manager at Oracle from 95 - 97, but I was also lucky enough to work directly for Bob on a couple of clients. It was great to get to know him and watch him interact with his buddy Phil N. If you’re a fan of quick wit and dry, sarcastic humor, then the interaction between Bob and Phil was not to be missed. However, my favorite story though, was when Bob and I were working directly across from one another. Both of us typing away diligently, until Bob’s keyboard stop making noise. I kept typing until I heard a very quiet voice say, “shhhiiiiittt.” I looked up and saw a completely calm Bob…his palm under his chin and fingers on his cheek. He continued looking at the screen while trying a couple of keys with his free hand that didn’t seem to work, and then said that he just lost all the changes he made to the document. Continuing to look at the screen, he sat back in his chair, let out a small sigh, and said, “you mean I have to make all that crap up again?” He then made eye contact with me and a smile turned into a hearty laugh between the two of us.
My thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences are with you and your family.

I knew Bob from Oracle. Bob had a unique style commenting on things that everybody else was unwilling to say. Bob was great guy who I used to depend on for his thoughts. They were not always right. They were never politically correct but they were valuable. Many people still talk about some of his emails that he used to send out to the organization.
I have not talked to Bob in a couple of years. I am not sure why that was. During this time I did think of him quite a bit. The strength and the courage that he displayed over the last few years was incredible.

Big Willie, as he was known to all of us in Phi Delta Theta fraternity at the University of Pennsylvania, has a special place in our hearts. He singlehandedly kept 50 or so of us in touch with one another for more than 30 years.
My fondest memory, however, was of the Fall day in 1974 or so when I was sitting in a large lecture class during my second year at Northwestern Law School. In the middle of the class there was a disturbance in the back of the room. I looked back and because he was wearing a beard that he had been "cultivating" for several months and was dressed in his traveling clothes (the one set that got him around the world), I took a while to recognize Big Willy, sitting next to his enormous backpack and comfortably ensconced on the rear most bench, looking for all the world perfectly at home in the middle of our Constitutional Law class. Frankly, I'm a bit surprised he did not volunteer an answer to one of the questions.
After the class ended and I recovered from my shock (advance notice was not a concept that Big Willie was much into in those days), I took him home and gave him the opportunity to take a hot shower, a ritual that you might say he had become less familiar with as his travels took him all over the world.
I gave him a shower and a meal and he gave me back 30 years worth of laughs, memories about our fraternity brothers and a shining example of what living with cancer can be all about.
I speak for all of my fraternity brothers when I say, "We will miss you; we will miss you very much."
God Bless

His senses of dedication & humor were traits not found in many and will be remembered by all. GOD bless & rest you Bob!
