Bill Tazewell

Bill was one of the first members of the AWS in 1937, a historian, the patriarch of the Internet, etc....  He voluntarily started Web pages for the Air Weather Association, National Weather Association and helped SSgt Steve Elliott with the first pages for AFWA/PA back in the mid-90s.

He would send messages to us regarding his thoughts on how retirees could help the active duty, let us know when he found interesting Web sites, etc.  He was always after us to think well into the future because with the Internet and other new technologies we are reaching the "foreseeable" future faster than ever before.

He didn't start his Webmaster skills until he was 79 in the early 90s.  Over the past few years he has been in/out of the hospital with heart problems.

He will be missed.

Sadly,
Kevin

Dear Sirs,

My father died on September 27. We are sure he is happier where he is now. His brother was with him and the doctors were very compassionate and kind. There will be a simple graveside service in due time.

He had a long, interesting, and full life and it was time to go. We will miss him. Thanks for your inquiry.
