Father, Brother, Uncle, and friend to many, Bill passed away surrounded by his loving family following a brief illness.
Bill was predeceased by parents, Raymond and Lorna, sister Barbara (Gary) DiNoto, niece Dana DiNoto. Survived by sons Dillon and Jack, former spouse Becki, brother John (Aggie) Wallner, many close cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends including Mark Iafrati, Carrie Black and Amy James.
If honesty and candor are the measure of a man, then Bill was ten feet tall.
Bill grew up in Rochester, NY, graduated from John Marshall High School and earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). He went on to excel in business as a global client executive making a home in cities across the United States including Dallas Texas, Denver Colorado, and Haddonfield New Jersey. All along the way, he found time to give back through the gift of his time to charitable organizations. Rotarian, author, entrepreneur are just a few of Bill’s many other gifts to us.
A tireless passion for athletics and physical fitness dominated his free time. Bill took up Olympic-style weightlifting in his late teens and excelled for over forty years. From winning the gold medal in the Empire States Games in Syracuse, New York to winning a bronze medal in Pan Am games in Toronto, Canada, to making the USA Masters Weightlifting team and competing in the Weightlifting World Championships in Europe, Bill taught us the lesson: Set the bar high.
Memorial details are to be determined at this time and will be shared once decided.
