Bill Fagan Sr.
(1929-2008)

As some of you know, Bill Fagan Sr. had a stroke on Friday and passed away. He was married to Doris "Dot" Fagan for 58 years. My grandparents worked at Westover and got the Fagans to join PV8 on March 15, 1986. They have been on many camping trips in the years that they went camping. Since the 1990's and until 2006, they would go down to South Carolina (until 2002) and Florida (2003-2006) for their winters. In his early years, Bill served in the Air Force. In my high school years, I was able to hang out with them and played cards. They were a great couple. His sons, Joe & Bill Jr. were also involved in the camping club with their families. Bill Sr. also leaves behind seven grandchildren. Bill, we will all miss you
