Bill Steinman Passes

I was sorry to learn earlier today that former Columbia Sports Information Director Bill Steinman died on Tuesday. He was always very kind to me.

I know his nickname was "Stats," and it was deserved because he kept and remembered data.

But the thing about Bill is that he best loved getting to know Columbia's student-athletes as people and not just numbers. He loved talking to them about their hometowns especially.

Here's one of the many kudos I gave to Bill over the years in a post I wrote 14 years ago, 

May his memory be a blessing.
