The National Academies Press website, Feb. 21, 2013 : (WILLIAM CRAIG REYNOLDS died of a malignant brain tumor at his home in Los Altos, California, on January 3, 2004, after 53 years at Stanford. He was 70 years old. Born in 1933 in Berkeley, Bill entered Stanford as an undergraduate and chose to remain there for the rest of his career. He completed his bachelor's (1954), master's (1955), and doctoral (1957) degrees at Stanford and then joined the faculty. He chaired the Department of Mechanical Engineering from 1972 to 1982 and from 1989 to 1992. Bill's main research interest was in turbulent flow, but he worked in nearly all branches and extensions of fluid mechanics, using experimental, theoretical, and computational methods with equal facility. He played the trumpet and arranged music for his own and other dance bands while a student at Stanford and enjoyed jazz concerts throughout his life. After his official retirement in 2000, even while he was still active in academic life, he took up music again, playing trumpet and arranging music for an amateur big band group.)
