WILLIAM O. RINGHAM


Bill died on July 29, 2007, at the age of 65 from injuries he sustained as a result of a tragic accidental fall at his home in the Fox Chapel section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is survived by Anne, his lovely wife of 40 years, his son, Jonathan, his daughter, Rebecca and her husband, Michael, and his grandchildren, Maddie and Benjamin.

A native of Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania, Bill majored in history at Dartmouth and went on to pursue a career in business. He was a serious student and an affable, and well-liked member of Sigma Nu Delta fraternity.

Following his graduation from Dartmouth, Bill enlisted and served a term of duty as an officer in the U.S. Navy. After his honorable discharge from the Navy, he earned an M.B.A. degree at Columbia University and began his career as a Wall Street investment banker.

In time, Bill's interests and experience led him to pursue his own real estate development ventures, and he enjoyed a very successful career in Pittsburgh as a developer, entrepreneur, and investor.

Bill was a wonderful friend and will be fondly remembered and sorely missed by his Dartmouth fraternity brothers, classmates and friends.
