Bill Ward (S63) is going through a tough patch right now and needs a little support and love. We don't know exactly what health issue he is dealing with, but according to his oldest son Ryan, Bill has been in the hospital a good part of January, is in a skilled nursing facility now, and will soon go to Grand Vita in Carpinteria for palliative care.
Many of you know he was the first serious photographer/historian for our fraternity in the early/mid 1960's, taught photography at Cal Poly (reportedly and easy "A" if you were a brother) and went on to receive two Masters at UCLA, teach there for many years and serve as Chairman of the Department of Theatre, UCLA school of Theatre, Film and Television.
We are sending this to his contemporaries of the 1960s so you are able to reach out to him with your memories, thoughts and prayers. You can do so by sending an email c/o his son Ryan, using the button below.
I am sure Bill would love to hear from his Brothers.
--John Vandevelde, Secretary
UPDATE:
Bill passed away last night at home surrounded by his family. We are in contact with them and in a couple of weeks they will be ready to share more information about him and any planned services that we may be able to attend.
"Here's to Brother Bill, he's with us, he's with us . . ."
