John Mancia wrote a sympathy message

“During our years at Huguenot Memorial Church our young family found a new spiritual life under the loving guidance of Bill Saum. In addition to Sunday and holiday services I worked closely with Bill and the Huguenot community and was always impressed with his kind guidance and rich expression for the teachings of Christianity. We were blessed with his presence.”

Robbie Harris wrote a sympathy message

“What sad news, I always loved Bill, among everyone who knew him. What stands out to me most clearly are both his essential goodness and kindness, along with a wry sense of humor and limitless generosity. The Jewish community at the Pelham Jewish Center always knew they had friends at the Huguenot Memorial Church when Bill served as its Pastor. Our ecumenical dialogues and programming in particular brought our respective communities together. May his memory be for a blessing! Rabbi Robbie Harris”
