In Memory of Bill Ward

Bill Ward

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of our most reliable and longest-standing volunteers. William “Bill” Ward served our country in the U.S. Air Force, raised a strong family, and loved the outdoors. Bill became an Adopt-a-River volunteer in 2007, the year after our program started. Bill carefully monitored his stretch of the Columbia River for nine years and dedicated countless hours, helping to make the Columbia River clean and healthy for all. We are tremendously grateful for his time and effort, and we know the Columbia River is a better place because of him. Our condolences go out of his family and friends.
