<div dir="ltr">I was a sort-of Sabcho Panza to Bill during my two sojourns with Bill and Nan in Brazil. I am ever grateful for his insights, conversations and care. He even enlisted me to practice with him singing tenor in the Brazilian Bach chorale. Fortunately I didn't have to perform. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 15, 2023 at 11:18 AM Ellie Stock via OE <<a href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net">oe@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<div style="color:black;font:10pt Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">So sorry to hear this news about Bill. His care and compassion bloomed wherever he and Nancy were planted in such a variety of assignments and tasks, be it enablement, global assignment, the first and only US ITI, helping to develop Swamp Gravy in Colquit, or working with his retirement community. He had a passion for the community and the arts (led the Millenium 2000 gathering workshop on this), loved music, and traveled internationally with the Yale Alumni Touring Choir. He also worked to overturn the Citizens United decision. He was passionate about and gave himself 100% to whatever he did, be it at the macro or micro level. <span style="font-size:13.3333px">We had the chance to visit them a couple of times in Colquit and also with their House Church when they moved back east. </span>

<div dir="ltr">Brad Grow emailed that his father, Bill Grow, died May 14. He said, "Dad passed away about six hours ago. It was quiet, peaceful and painless. We are beginning the process of developing memorial thoughts. He was very grateful that there was someone to receive their archives.” <br>

<div dir="ltr">Two weeks ago twenty boxes of Bill and Nan Grow's archives arrived at the ICA GreenRise. In one of the last acts of his life, Bill was determined that their family archives would be sent to the ICA to be added as needed to the Global Archives website. The boxes are waiting now to be sorted and scanned at the July 16-30 Archives Sojourn. <br>
