I'll never forget Mr. Grieser. He was like a second father to me. As a teenager, I probably spent more time with him than I did with my own father. Every summer, Mr. Grieser allowed Cheryl to take a friend, which was usually me, to the beach with them where he always made the trip so much fun. I know his occupation was an engineer, but he should've been a teacher... he liked to share his knowledge of fishing, boating, sports, and anything else he was into. One thing I always wanted to do, but Cheryl definitely did not, was to go sailing with him on his sailboat. I'll miss Mr. Grieser. He was a special man!

I worked with Bill on some committees in the early 1990's in Chemicals Engineering and he was the consummate professional. People like Bill made work much easier and certainly more fun. My thanks to Bill's family for sharing him with us, and my warmest wishes to each of you.

Bill was a very competent piping technology teacher at Delaware Tech who was tirelessly dedicated to all of his night school students. An accomplished manager at Dupont with a large portfolio of successful projects that were a privilege to be a part of.
Most of all Bill was a close friend who told great stories that would always generate a smile and a good laugh. R.I.P. Bill

I worked with Bill back in the mid eighties. He was lead designer on several of my projects. I had a tremendous amount of respect for Bill. He was on the leading edge of 3D computer aided design at the time and contributed significantly to DuPont Engineering. He was a really special person. So sad that he has passed.
