Bill Draper stands outside smiling

Honoring Bill Draper

Dear DRK Community,

With deep sadness, and with profound gratitude for having Bill in our lives and for his legacy, we want to share that Bill Draper passed away on September 8, peacefully at home, surrounded by his family. Bill was just shy of 99 and lived an extraordinary life in so many ways—his dedication to helping others, his genuine love of people, and his devotion to all of you and our community. Bill’s anchor in life was his endless hope and optimism that each of us can make a difference in others’ lives if we choose to act.

We are all so much better for knowing this remarkable man.

Much love,
Robin Richards Donohoe, Rob Kaplan, and Jim Bildner
