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!
