So sad to lose one of the legends in Boston radio. Bill worked with my wife Carolyn Murdock at WRKO for years. Bill welcomed me to Boston in a way only Bill could. He was and will always be our friend. God Bless

One of the people (along with his wife Hillary) we who were trying to break into "the business" back in the day looked up to and wanted to be. They are not making radio people like him anymore.

So sorry for your loss. I remember Bill coming to my dad's home for dinner on various occasions. As someone who was just starting out in the "biz", he always treated me with respect and encouragement to pursue my career. He was a true gentleman.

Bill will be remembered as a wonderful teacher and role model for many of us starting out in the radio business. In 1975, he gave me the opportunity to intern as a writer for his morning newscasts at WRKO. His mentoring helped launch my career in radio news that continues today.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Bill while an at KISS 108 as Dale Dorman's intern in the early 80's. I always loved when Bill ended his news and Dale and he would give each other a hard time. Bill was a professional in every since of the word.
He will be missed.

I had the privilege and joy to meet Bill in 1977, when he, Hillary and John Masters and I all worked at WRKO. Bill and Hillary married, then John and I. We stayed friends over
the years, celebrating birthdays, new jobs and retirements. I shall always remember the wonderful hugs he gave. I expect he and John are catching up now and discussing politics as usual. I shall miss him very much.

Although I did not know Bill Rossi, he and Dale Dorman provided the best morning radio to date. RIP Bill.
