Inspiration

Saturday I attended the memorial service for Bill Koerwitz. It was amazing to hear his children and grandchildren reflect on the impact he made on their lives. We saw a video that touched on the way Bill's company helped shape Las Vegas over the last several decades. Our library and baseball field bear the Koerwitz name and Bill and Elsie gave the lead gift for the CPAC. His impact on our school will never be forgotten. But what ran through all the stories that were told was how much he had taught people by his example. Whether at church, work or with his family, his quiet determination, work ethic and quirky sense of humor made an impact on virtually everyone who came to know him. It is said that teachers touch lives through eternity. If that is true, Bill Koerwitz was a truly great teacher. He will be missed.
