Board Chair, Bill Dodge passed away last Saturday, Feb 6. Bill Dodge died of a heart attack, while being out on his back patio Saturday afternoon. 

 

Bill Dodge served on the Board of the Coastal Bend-Texas Chapter of the American Red Cross from 2005 and became our Board Chair July 1, 2009.  He brought with him exceptional education and experience, plus a clear devotion to our community. Having served on the Port of Corpus Christi Authority and the United Way of the Coastal Bend, as well as many other community and state organizations, he provided an extensive knowledge of our community and our citizens to the efforts of the Red Cross.

  

He was an active support to many of our chapter committees in moving them forward and in reaching out to the community for the financial support that allows the chapter to provide the disaster relief, safety and preparedness training, and service to our armed forces performed on a daily basis.

Bill had maintained a very active life, with jogging and marathon running, as well as a full schedule of social activities at community events. 

 

Our chapter is grateful to have had his support and leadership, we shall miss his active participation within our chapter activities, and we wish his wife and family the very best in this difficult period.  Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
