Bill Luzader 1949-2014

Dear Members & Friends of Skyscrapers, Inc.,

It is with deep regret and profound sadness that we inform you of the passing of Bill Luzader, who died unexpectedly on June 16, 2014. At this moment our thoughts go towards his family, beloved ones and friends.

Known to many of us as “Wild Bill”, he was a long time friend of Skyscrapers. Bill loved life, loved astronomy, and loved to share his fascination of the universe with all that came in contact with him. Bill always had a smile on his face, a joke to tell, and an eagerness to always help out. For many years, at our annual AstroAssembly, Bill conducted a very popular “Astro Quiz”, which was a marvelous blend of astronomical knowledge and silly humor. And at last year’s event, he served as our Master of Ceremonies.

He taught physics and astronomy at a number of high schools, universities, and colleges, and served as teacher consultant to Project STAR at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

Bill was a cherished friend of Skyscrapers, and will be sorely missed.

Sincerely,
Bob Horton,
President
Skyscrapers, Inc.
