Retired architect Bill Hoff Busse, known just as much for designing significant buildings at Stanford University as for lending his skills to volunteer projects throughout Palo Alto, died of natural causes at his Palo Alto home on April 19. He was 93.
Busse s name is attributed to numerous noted buildings in the area, including the downtown Palo Alto City Library, the Lucy Evans Baylands Nature Interpretive Center and Stanford University s Tresidder Memorial Union.
