}f\fiUiam A. CastelUnl
of Cincinnati Dies
WILLIAM A. A. CASTELLINI, Ph.B.
Journalism '22, Cincinnati, died suddenly
in Columbus, Ohio, on Thursday, Februai-y
23, while attending a convention.
Mr. Castellini
At the time of his death. Bill was associated
with the Dinerman Advertising
Agency as vice-president in charge of
public relations. After graduation from
Notre Dame, where he was a popular
and very active undergraduate journalist
and organization leader, he entered the
produce business in Cincinnati with his
father. In 1927 he entered the advei-tis-
The Notre Dame Alumnus
ing field and established his own business
as a public i-elations counselor.
Success in Cincinnati led to an affiliation
with E. L. Bernays in New York,
where outstanding work with the Philco
account resulted in his becoming director
of public relations at the Franklin Institute
in Philadelphia, a post which he held
from 1935 to 1940, when he returned to
his home city.
Bill's father died only a few months
ago, but Bill is sur\'ived by his mother,
Mrs. Eleanor Castellini, his wife, Mrs.
Ruth McGregor Castellini, and three
children, Mrs. Ruth Keefe, Miss Mona
Castellini, and a son, Lt. William W. Bill
also leaves four brothers, .A.lbei't, '24,
James, Robert, and John.
The above summary does not begin to
tell the story of one of the truly great
personalities among Notre Dame alumni.
During his undergraduate years and
through all the subsequent years of his
careei', Bill Castellini had an active and
a deep loyalty for Notre Dame, for the
life it taught, for the teachers like Dr.
Cooney whom he never ceased to visit.
Wherever he was, Notre Dame and its
interests were a part of his program, as
was the unselfish Catholic life he exemplified.
Notre Dame publiicty and public
relations benefitted immeasurably from
the interest and the talents which he contributed
to this in these fields at the
University and in the Local Clubs.
One of the latest manifestations of his
interest was the securing of the patronage
of a client, Alvin Gould, for the work
of the Natural Law Institute. There are
undoubtedly many alumni whose qualities
are comparable. It just happens that the
Alumni Office, staffed by fellow journalists
of the Cooney era in which Bill lived,
knew the greatness of his nature and his
work, particularly as it affected, and reflected,
Notre Dame.
