This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, William J. Finn who was born on January 2, 1942 and passed away on January 31, 2011. We will remember him forever.
Please share your stories, uplooad pictures, comment on pictures and leave a tribute to remember him here. Bill was loved by many and will be missed by all, but mostly, me, Perry-Nicholas Isch, his partner in love and life.
In lieu of flowers, consider making a donation to "The Point Foundation" thepointfoundation.org an educational charity. Bill's passion was teaching and would have wanted any money you would spend on flowers to go to a foundation like this in his honor. Thank you
Tributes
Leave a tributeGosh more than a decade. I remember meeting you at the Concord all those years ago, and the visits to your house and yours to ours and then our visits to Florida. I think of you now and then and smile at these memories but it's bittersweet as you were taken too soon, too soon! Rest in peace Bill.
Sorry to miss you in January. Time flies! In fact, can't believe it has been 9 years. Hope you are enjoying the ultimate party and waiting for us. We love you Bill.
Ellen and I thank you for being a great teacher.
Thinking of all the good times with you, our good friend. Hope you are at peace. So sorry you had to leave the party so soon and hard to believe it was 6 years ago.
It is hard to believe that you have been gone for 6 years already. I truly miss your friendships and hospitality for all the times I had conferences in Orlando. Miss you so much!
Happy Birthday in Heaven. I will have a Hazelnut. Coffee with those great cookies you used to make.

Coffee is On
Dear Bill,
Happy Birthday in Heaven,
The great thing I will always remember about you is that whenever I stayed st your home by myself or with my family for the Daytona Races you always had the coffee on no matter the time or day. The laughter, fun, good and best frienship will never be forgotten.
Rest in Peace!
Stylin, you were a class act
I remember the day you saw the Jag and asked me if you thought it was ok to get. I recall telling you that you worked your whole life for something that nice and you absolutely deserved it. Shortly after getting "jag 1" you convinced me to trade in my caddy for "Jag 2". It was so much fun to have a matched set, i remember you sending the christmas email about "santa's claws" you were so clever. Well, you would have been proud as i did what you instructed me to do and sell the jags. I wound up with a wonderful sedan that has great lines i know you would approve of, super gas mileage and is very comfortable. I know you would approve. I often find myself making decisions based on the input that you provided for me. You enriched my life beyond words and i miss that so much. I feel your influence in many of my decisions. Im so grateful of the time we had but honestly everyday, wish there was more. im a better man today because of you. I will always Love you and i miss you terribly.
You're all around me..
Bill, part of my cleaning today brought me to these rare pictures of you. Your life was as full as any could have been. I thought i would share them for your former students and freinds to continue to enjoy and remember how you were "Larger Than Life" Im in awe that 7 weeks tomorrow have passed and i miss you terribly each and everyday. Love you always p.
