Bill Storz (1950-1953)
A reserve forward, Bill Storz played in 22 games over three seasons.
Following Georgetown, Storz earned his medical degree from NYU and was a thoracic surgeon for nearly five decades, most recently in Walnut Creek, CA. "He grew up in Rego Park, Queens, and spent summers in Point Lookout, Long Island, where he met the love of his life, Eileen (Walsh) Storz, when they were seven years old," wrote his December 2022 obituary. "He wove a ring out of beach grass and told her he was going to marry her. He attended Regis High School in Manhattan, an all-scholarship Jesuit school, where his academic and athletic success earned him a scholarship to Georgetown University as the first ever pre-med basketball player."
"Bill continued dating Eileen throughout college and they were married on May 30, 1955 after his second year of medical school at New York Medical College. Their family grew quickly with the birth of three daughters and a son...after his retirement from the Navy, he joined Kaiser Permanente in Martinez, CA. as a surgeon and continued as a general and cardiothoracic surgeon until his retirement in 1996. The staff surgeons called him back to assist on surgeries for years after his official retirement, so Bill continued assisting and teaching in the operating room until 2006."
