A memorial for Bill will take place on February 22, 2026, at 2:00 pm in the Wheelock Center Rotunda.  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the William Breitenbach Endowed Fund in History.  This fund will provide a monetary award to accompany the writing prize in his name, support a lecture series, and further enrich the lives of history faculty and students as well as the wider Puget Sound community.
