John Graziano wrote a sympathy message

“Bill was an unassuming yet hardy and personable acquaintance whose family had a huge presence in Albany. My wife Aleda and I enjoyed our casual conversations mainly centered on our mutual love of horses and his international friendships with others interested in equestrian activities. If my memory serves me right he was very friendly with William Shatner of Boston Legal fame who shared his equestrian passion. John Graziano Sr.”
