The passing of Bill Demmert
from Alaska Native Knowledge Network - Tuesday, 19 January 2010, 04:24 pm
 
Friends It with a very sad heart that I inform you that our friend and the leader of our research partnership, Bill Demmert passed away this morning January 19 at 5:00AM. He was 75 years old. His passing was peaceful with family at his side. For those who were not aware of his illness Bill had lymphoma which turned to lung cancer. I have known Bill for nearly 40 years, having worked directly with him for 30 years on many efforts. He had a very wide circle of friends and will always be known as a very generous man with his time, friendship and leadership. I will miss him deeply; we will all miss him. Arrangements are pending....
