Guestbook for Bill Graham (MBA ’86)

Hey Bill
We in Asia will certainly miss you. Your trips to Asia were always great with you sharing insights and experience with us. You will be missed. Thanks for your contribution to the school and keep healthy and well! Call us if you ever visit HK again.

Bill,

I hope you and your family continue to be well and in good health in the midst of this pandemic.

On behalf of other Alumni, may I express my sincerest gratitude and appreciation for all of your contribution in making the School and the Alumni Association the success it is today. I have always admired your selfless efforts and service to the Schulich Community.

I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Bill,
Just wanted to Thank You for all of your travels to visit Schulich Alumni in all of the locations where I have been over the years - that included London, UK; Hong Kong; and Singapore.

Enjoyed catching up and seeing the fantastic developments that Dean Horvath and you had accomplished over those years.

Well done, and we shall miss your smiling face.
Cheers Jamieson in Sydney, AU

Bill you are and continue to be an inspiration to myself and undoubtly everyone you've worked and socialized with.

Over the years, I've had the honour and pleasure of working with you on the Alumni council, Connect, and the many networking events hosted by Schulich.

You're a tour de force, role model and perhaps most importantly a genuinely good person.

Well done Bill and congrats. Looking forward to your next chapter.

All the Best,

Jeff Lem

Bill, it’s hard to believe that your era has ended. You were an absolute fixture for so many years, showing up from time to time in our shared suite back in the day. Always taking the time to say hello and chat, always positive and quietly supportive yet never intrusive. I never understood all of what you were doing but I did see a helluva lot of photos of you visiting with alumni all over the world and that was quite impressive. I deeply appreciate your support of the SRPAA Leadership Awards, just another example of how you offer quiet but meaningful support. You walk the walk, my friend. That is inspiring for all who see. Thank you! I wish you all the best in your future endeavours and look forward to seeing you around. Cheers, Andre

Bill,
I have not had the great fortune of getting to work with you as closely and for as long as my colleagues, but even in my short time here at Schulich, your impact has been seen in many ways.
Your generosity in time, support, and passion to Schulich has left such a mark on the School and in the lives of so many staff, students, and alumni.
Thank you for everything!
William Craddock

It's been great working with you for all these years! Very best wishes,
Bernie

Hi Bill
Lynn and I wish you continued signal successes as you together with your dear wife begin your walk down the "yellow brick road' (aka your personal "trip-tik") guiding you two along the paths of retirement. It has been such a privelege and treat for me to have partnered with you during our many exciting and interesting years shephearding the myriad of students from around the world who have come to Canada to attend the IMBA Program - the Schulich School of Business' elite MBA program known as such throughout the globe
As we will, please keep us apprised of your current contact information to ensure we remain in close contact with each other
Fondest and warmest regards
Lynn and Skip Sigel

I remember meeting Bill at one of the events Dezso had organized to honour Schulich graduates who had made a real name for themselves and for the school. Bill was so enthusiastic about Schulich that that enthusiasm touched and excited everyone present... and that takes some doing in Dezso's always high energy presence!

Dear Bill,
Congratulations on your retirement as President of the Schulich Global Alumni Network. Your dedication to this role had been exemplary as has the growth of the Alumni Network. I always enjoyed our conversations at the various Schulich Events over the years. Your insights on the School and our Alumni were always valuable!
I also recall your fundraising skills were equally strong as you encouraged our Alum to support the School. I wish you all the best in this next phase of life and hopefully you have all the time you need to devote to your interests!
Sincerely,
Paul Tsaparis
