•DR. WILLIAM SPATH<br />
Dr. William “Bill” J.<br />
Spath, 84, died Wednesday,<br />
January 2, 2013, at Manor<br />
of <strong>Perrysburg</strong>. He was born<br />
in Toledo, to George and<br />
Dorothy (Lodge) Spath on<br />
April 22, 1928.<br />
In his early years, he was<br />
a 124-pound all-city guard<br />
for Woodward High School,<br />
where he graduated in 1946.<br />
He went on to graduate from<br />
Ohio University and Case<br />
Western University School<br />
of Dentistry. In 1952, he entered<br />
the United States Air<br />
Force and served two and<br />
half years in Okinawa,<br />
Japan, where he was the<br />
base dental officer. In 1956,<br />
he bought a dental practice<br />
on the corner of Madison<br />
and Erie in downtown<br />
Toledo, where he practiced<br />
for more than 30 years.<br />
Bill married Susan<br />
Warns, and in August they<br />
celebrated 37 years of marriage.<br />
He enjoyed sailing, skiing,<br />
and making others<br />
laugh. He never turned<br />
down an adventure. It may<br />
have been as simple as a<br />
snowmobile trip to the Turtle<br />
Club on half frozen ice,<br />
or sailing off on a six-month<br />
journey with three small<br />
children, a tutor and his<br />
wife.<br />
Dr. Spath is survived by<br />
his wife, Susan; children,<br />
Lindsey (Matthew) Roth,<br />

Children’s grief<br />
program<br />
to meet Jan. 15<br />
A local program for children<br />
who have experienced<br />
the loss of a sibling, parent,<br />
grandparent or friend is being<br />
established as Good Grief of<br />
Northwest Ohio.<br />
By offering age-appropriate<br />
support groups and programming,<br />
Good Grief will<br />
help families find positive<br />
ways to work through the<br />
emotions associated with such<br />
a significant loss.<br />
A community informational<br />
forum offering details<br />
on the program will be held on<br />
Tuesday, January 15, at the<br />
UT Driscoll Alumni Center,<br />
from 6:30 to 8 p.m.<br />
The presentation will feature<br />
former local weatherman,<br />
Stan Stachek and daughter<br />
Sarah, former Miss American<br />
and director of Gabby’s Ladder<br />
in Monroe, Kaye Lani Rae<br />
Rafko Wilson and Ele’s Place<br />
founder Betsy Stover who will<br />
share details of programming<br />
as organizers are currently<br />
seeking program volunteers<br />
and families interest in participating.<br />
Children will learn skills to<br />
help them deal with their feelings<br />
ranging from anger, guilt,<br />
sadness or fear.<br />
Through age-appropriate<br />
support programming, the<br />
experience of death and grief<br />
can be normalized bringing<br />
about a reduced sense of isolation<br />
and understanding helping<br />
them to reconcile their<br />
loss.<br />
Good Grief will offer programing<br />
for children ages 4 to<br />
24.<br />
An adult will accompany<br />
each child and will participate<br />
in programming as well.<br />
The program will be free<br />
and open to the public.<br />
