Bill's memory is sustained at Seton Hall University through the endowed scholarship he established at his death. On Wednesday evening, at our annual scholarship award dinner, the Cunniff Scholarship recipient was honored for her achievement. Seton Hall -- and, in particular, his scholarship recipients --are eternally grateful for Bill's generosity. Once a Pirate, always a Pirate!

On behalf of the entire Seton Hall University community, we are saddened by Bill's passing. Out of gratitude for his loyal and long-standing generosity to the University, a mass in his memory will be celebrated in the campus Chapel on Monday, July 10 at 8 PM. All are welcome to attend.
