In
Memoriam, Bill Webber
A
message from Al Govednik, AWDF president
Friends and family of Bill,
I had the privilege of knowing Bill for over 20 years. I
considered him a good friend and whenever we had an opportunity to talk
whether it was about dogs, or life in general, I absolutely came away
with a better feeling about the situations we were
discussing. I could always get an open and honest answer
from any question I asked, from Bill.
Everyone within our organization including myself are deeply saddened
by Bill's passing.
Bill was special to our dog community and quite passionate when it came
to his breed of choice the Giant Schnauzer. It didn't take long
to understand how much Bill appreciated the hard work and dedication
his fellow working dog enthusiasts had when it involved the American
Working Dog Federation and its' member clubs.
All of us within the AWDF, know and appreciate how much of himself he
gave to the sport and I don't believe anyone who knew Bill Webber will
ever forget his motivation, his drives, and his strong desire to
maintain the working dog here in America.
Bill, it was an absolute pleasure to have had the chance to call you my
friend. I know you will be looking after all of us.
Al Govednik
President AWDF
