From a friend:
“Bill Cihak was a member of the 1974 graduating dental class at the State University of New York Dental School. He was one of the fun loving members of our class and was respected for his military service. On November 8, 2024, we will be celebrating our 50th year graduation from dental school in Buffalo, New York. I will sadly share Bill’s passing with our classmates but know that he will be with us in spirit.
