William B. MacColl Jr. ’51

William B. MacColl Jr. ’51, of San Francisco; Oct. 18, following a short illness. Most of his professional career was with Wells Fargo Bank in San Francisco, from which he retired as a vice president after 33 years. In 1949, he joined the U.S. Navy to fulfill his dream of becoming a fighter pilot. He flew single engine propeller planes and jets during the Korean War. Always a Navy man, he sported his wings pin on every jacket lapel and never missed the Blue Angels during Fleet Week. He married and together with his wife they skied at Sugar Bowl, hiked the High Sierra Camps, off-roaded in Idaho, and enjoyed time at Stinson Beach. As a member of the Montgomery Street Motorcycle Club and a founding member of the Boho Bikers, Bill’s avid love for motorcycling took them on innumerable excursions touring the western states, including a trip to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota. He served for four decades as the treasurer of the Laguna Honda Hospital Volunteers, was a volunteer for the Friends of Recreation and Parks, and was a member of the Floor Committee for the San Francisco Cotillion. He enjoyed collecting trains and regularly operating a fleet of self-made model boats at Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park through the SF Model Yacht Club. He is survived by daughter Lauren MacColl Maass ’83; son Ian ’84; a daughter-in-law; a son-in-law; and four grandchildren.
