It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of former Board Member William “Bill” Petty, who passed away on November 30 at age 83. He served for more than 20 years on the boards of HSI and WARC and will be well remembered for his energy, his vibrant (and often funny) personality, and his passion and dedication to serving others, especially people with disabilities.
During his tenure on the Board, he approached each agenda item, each issue, large or small, from the standpoint of advancing our Mission. Among his many contributions to our organization, we’ll fondly remember him for his help in the design and funding of the “water wall” in our Art Room – thank you, Bill!
You can read more about Bill in this wonderful remembrance.
A celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. on January 14, 2020 at Sparks Christian Fellowship, 510 Greenbrae Drive, Sparks, NV, 90431. In lieu of flowers, donations in Bill’s name can be made at fredhutch.org – please choose the “lung cancer” option.
Our sympathy and condolences to the Petty family, and his many friends and business colleagues.
