It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our friend and Rotary Club President, Bill Hassett. Bill truly exemplified what it means to be a Rotarian — a person of integrity, compassion, and unwavering commitment to service above self.

Bill led with calm, steady guidance and gave generously of his time and talents to our club and community. Always humble and ready to lend a hand, he found great joy in Rotary’s fellowship and in the meaningful work we do together.

He was a man of kindness, integrity, and quiet strength — a leader who inspired others through his actions and example. Bill’s dedication and spirit of service will continue to guide us and remind us of what Rotary is all about.

He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of serving alongside him.
