On September 3, 2014, Hector "Bill" Duthie, a resident at Sanctuary at Bellbrook, took flight in a B-25 aircraft at Willow Run Airport.
Bill is a veteran pilot of WWII who flew the B-25 during the war. A Life Celebrated was determined to give Bill and his family the opportunity to have that experience again. After many months of waiting, Bill was able to "take flight".
Bill, known to staff and friends as "The Mayor", is a distinguished member of the Bellbrook community. He has acted as President and Vice President of the apartment association, volunteers for many functions within the community and leads a men's group on the memory care unit where his wife once lived.
"Here's to you Bill, for your service during the war and your continued service within your community!"
