LISCA says farewell to Bill Godfrey

LISCA mourns the loss of Aaron William Godfrey, known to all of us as Bill. He passed away on April 7, at the age of 91. Bill was a long-time member and supporter of LISCA. He was also known for preparing luscious dinners for our riser set-up crews at our concerts. Bill served on the board of trustees at the Long Island Museum. Not only was he a supporter of the arts on Long Island, he was a genuine scholar, having taught Latin at Stony Brook University for many years. He also taught Spanish, French, money and banking, Latin American history, and politics before joining Stony Brook. Finally, Bill wrote hundreds of scholarly articles and a Latin textbook. His wife, Valerie, is also a member of the LISCA. We will all miss him in the days to come.
