Past PWA President Bill Smith passes away

October 13, 2011 Posted by jb

On early Tuesday morning, the Peninsula wrestling family lost long-time supporter and great friend Mr. William “Bill” Smith.  Bill’s passion for wrestling and significant contributions to PWA & peninsula wrestling provided innumerable contributions to generations of student athletes.

Over the years Bill also become a great mentor and guide to individuals like myself and his advice, wisdom, and personal friendship will be deeply missed.

Bill also served his country in the United States Marine Corps and was a proud and active USMC veteran.  Thoughout his life, Bill maintained a strong commitment and love of our country.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Sally and entire Smith family.

As funeral arrangements are finalized, we will pass them along.

~John Swartz, PWA
