Bill Apgar, a long-time employee of the Department of Environmental Protection and Chairman of the Capital Area Chapter of the Pennsylvania Senior Environment Corps, passed away this week.

Bill (pictured in the center of the photograph) was always enthusiastic about his work at DEP and was well liked by everyone he worked with.

Through his work with the Capital Area Chapter of the PA Senior Environment Corps doing water sampling on the Yellow Breeches and other streams in Cumberland County and as a board member of the Yellow Breeches Creek Watershed Association, he continued to make a major contribution to improving the environment.

In a Video Blog story last year, Bill explained how volunteers from PaSEC Team-X did water monitoring, including a now 100-year old senior Homer Foster.

Bill, you will be missed.
