Indiana 4-H and, indeed, the broader 4-H community nationwide has lost a stalwart supporter. Bill Viar passed away Friday, April 17. Bill was associated with the 4-H community both professionally as the Director of the Special Risk Division of American Income Life Company, a position he held since 1995, and as a volunteer on the Indiana 4-H Foundation Board of Directors for three terms including last year’s service as vice president.
Bill always greeted everyone with a smile at Indiana 4-H Foundation meetings and he was a friendly face at many of our local, statewide, and national events as well. We celebrated with him as he was inducted into the National 4-H Hall of Fame in 2016. We mourn with his wife, Terri, and family along with our larger 4-H family.
The Indiana 4-H Foundation Board of Directors is establishing a memorial scholarship endowment within the Indiana 4-H Foundation.
- All contributions up to $12,500 will be matched.
- Contributions can be made to the Indiana 4-H Foundation, P.O. Box 3125, Indianapolis, IN 46206.
- Please write Bill Viar Scholarship Endowment in the memo.
