Per Bill's obit:  William Emmet TenEyck died Sept 10, 2007 from cancer.  He passed away at home in Great Falls, Va.  He was a retired Air Force officer working with OSI (office of special investigations)  stationed in numerous US locations and served 2 tours of duty in Ankara, Turkey,  and later worked for Battelle Memorial Institute supporting the U.S. Dept of Energy in the areas of intelligence and arms control.   He was born in Kalamazoo and graduated from Western Michigan University.  He was an artist specializing in colored pencil drawings and had produced a number of limited edition prints of local Washington DC and Northern Va historical venues.  He enjoyed playing the piano, woodworking, landscape design and gardening.  He was a member of Reston Presbyterian Church and the building committee for the Great Falls Freedom Memorial and actively participated in its design and construction.  He was survived by his wife Elizabeth Quinn TenEyck of 24 years and 2 sons Brian of Tucson, Az and Gregory of Albuquerque NM and his brother James of Scottsdale, Az.   He was cremated  and a memorial service was held in Great Falls, Va. 

Bill it has been mentioned that you always had a great sense of humor and a twinkle in your eye.  I remember that as I am sure many classmates do.  We thank you for your service to our country  you were a very talented person and hopefully you enjoyed every minute of what sounds like a very busy life.   We will miss you .

I am very saddened to hear of Bill's untimely passing.  He was a great guy and certainly very fun to know.  He was quite the piano player and loved to entertain his friends.  His service to our country speaks well for his terrific character. He will be sorely missed.

How sad I feel to learn we've lost a wonderful guy. Bill and I had a great deal of fun with music. I had lost track of him during these 50 years. May he rest in peace.
