•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 />

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 />
