To the family of Bill Schmitz.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked directly for Bill for many years in the Buoy Group of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. I've been on many research cruises with him. He was the consummate scientist and a dedicated researcher. He was instrumental in furthering my career here at Woods Hole.

May he rest in peace. May your hearts remember him always.

Fair winds and following seas, old friend......George Tupper

We extend our sincere condolences to Bills's entire family. In this sad time may you find strength from our Heavenly Father's promise that we can be reunited with our loved ones by means of a resurrection and death will be no more. - Revelation 21:3,4; John 5:28 What a wonderful day this will be! May this precious hope that awaits us and the love and support of family and friends bring you a measure of comfort now and in the days ahead.
