It is with a heavy heart that I write to announce the passing of our friend Bill Reeves, who passed away this morning after a long illness. As many of you know, Bill has been a respected and beloved board member of Huntington-Oyster Bay Audubon for many, many years and was also a former treasurer of NYSOA.
Bill's knowledge of and dedication to the conservation of birds and other wildlife was tremendous and it was a honor to serve on the same board of directors as him. We will miss him dearly. Below is the information for service and funeral. Visitation: Monday, November 25, 2013 2-5 & 7-9 PM at the Nolan Funeral Home, 5 Laurel Avenue, Northport.

Stella Miller President Huntington-Oyster Bay Audubon Society "Conservation is sometimes perceived as stopping everything cold, as holding whooping cranes in higher esteem than people. It is up to science to spread the understanding that the choice is not between wild places or people, it is between a rich or an impoverished existence for Man."
