We send our deepest sympathy to the entire Sanni family as you navigate this grievous loss. Bill was ray of sunshine whether he was in a school setting or on the tennis court. He was the principal at Shady Grove when I began my teaching career and set a true example for all of us to emulate. It was obvious that he loved children and was always supportive of his teaching staff. A very competitive athlete, he gave his all whether playing basketball with a group of teachers or cheering everyone on and participating actively at Field Day. When I began coaching tennis, he had become an administrator. Bill always supported the effort, helping us to secure uniforms for the first time for the girl's teams, and making sure we had proper nets and equipment for the summer program as well. So wonderful to get reacquainted when he returned to watch his grandchildren competing for Wissahickon in recent years. Such a proud grandfather. We feel blessed to have known him as a mentor, colleague, and friend and are proud to share his memory.

Bill was someone who made everyone he came into contact with a better person. I was lucky enough to be Bill's friend and occasional tennis partner. I'll miss him terribly. My heart goes out to the entire Sanni family.

My best man and I his, we became and continued as friends for over 50 years. Even though a country kid from Biglerville PA and 3 years younger, he became my role model as as a teacher and all around good person, who demonstrated character, strength, integrity, intelligence, and love for especially children, his own and in the classroom. The world will miss this loving guy. But the love he put out there will continue.

We are so saddened to read the news of Bill’s passing. Although we have lost touch with one another we have such fond memories of our times together. Ron, in particular, felt that Bill was his mentor, a wonderful and caring administrator and a pleasure to work with. He gave Ron his start in education and for that he is forever grateful. He also was influential in our son’s tennis and college choice. He had a great influence on our lives. We will miss knowing that he is still walking this earth and will always cherish his memory for a blessing. Rest in Peace Bill. With our deepest sympathy, Ron and Helene Peyton

Dr. Sanni played a big role in my life. He was my principal when I was a kid and then later when I became a teacher, he was my principal briefly as an adult as well. Every interaction I had with him was always kind and positive. He was one of those people when you walked away you had a smile on your face. Due to his gentle nature, he earned the respect of so many. I will always remember him for this.
Later, I learned that Dr. Sanni moved to Hilton Head, which made sense since he was an amazing athlete and tennis player. I am sure he enjoyed the beautiful healthy environment. I recently ran in to Bill at the tennis courts in Brigantine and as always he was so pleasant. He also always asked how my family and I were doing. (and he meant it- listened and cared) A true gentleman and so genuine.
Lastly, my sincere condolences go out to his family, I know how deeply he adored all of you. I know you will continue to live as he did and carry on all his wonderful character traits. I am so sorry for your loss and hope you can find comfort in all his wonderful memories. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

It is with a very saddened heart that I send condolences to Jeannie & the entire Sanni family. Bill was inspirational to my teaching career, a true mentor, & friend for almost 50 years. He loved his family with all his heart. We so enjoyed talking family, tennis, & of course, the old Shady Grove days. His memory will be a blessing to all who knew him….Ernie Brownstein
