FAMCO Remembers Bill Schreiber

Dr. William “Bill” Schreiber (1943-2025) passed November 4^th and will be remembered as an exemplary member of our union, dedicated lecturer of Monmouth University, and staunch advocate for civic engagement.

Bill spent nearly the whole of the last two decades in the science department as an organic chemistry lecturer and Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Physics, following what was already a laudable career as VP and Director of Fragrance Chemical Research at IFF, and owner and technical director of Chemlumina. His aptitude for mentoring and educating is what brough him to us at MU in 2006.

Throughout his tenure, Bill was an impassioned volunteer with FAMCO, always ready to lend a word of support and a helping hand. His unwavering support and “unselfish dedication” garnered him FAMCO’s Donald Warncke Award in 2024. The award is given to any member of the university community who has distinguished himself or herself through outstanding service over the years. Bill was the 55^th recipient since the award was first given in 1980 and a most worthy recipient at that.

An active member of the Jackson community having served on the Township’s board and as mayor for a term in 1984, may we always remember the words Bill once encouraged on the campaign trail and continually proved to live throughout his life: “If people are treated with respect, they will respond in kind.”
