In Memory of Bill Eisenreich, a past President of HBC.

Some comments about Bill:

(From Bill's wife Chris)
I am sad to tell you that my Bill died this past year in July. He was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer in January and died less that 6 months later. The prognosis was never good to begin with, and in spite of trials of chemo and radiation, he went downhill quickly. I took care of him at home almost the entire time, and he died at home with assistance from East End Hospice. They were a tremendous help and support system. If you would like to read his obituary, it is at Legacy.com, then type in his full name, William Eisenreich. We were 6 weeks short of our 50th wedding anniversary in August. I miss him so much.

After moving to New York, Bill and Chris joined a bicycling club, where they participated in many local club rides as well as traveled to many out-of-state rallies with new friends who became like extended family. They went on cross-country skiing trips to the Adirondaks and Vermont. They traveled to Tangelwood in the Berkshires for outdoor summer concerts. In later years, he and Chris built a summer home on the water in Greenport , on the eastern end of Long Island, where they enjoyed kayaking right out their back door, and boating in the Peconic Bay. They eventually turned the cottage into a year-round home, and made it their retirement home in 2011. They spent many an afternoon sitting on their back porch, observing egrets, osprey diving for fish, and peace and quiet.

I remember Bill very well. He was HBC president at one time.

He came to see us off on a ride from Bethany last year.

Rest in peace Bill
