Former commission chairman Bill Schoonover remembered at meeting
Summary
Commissioners announced the death of former commissioner and long-time airport chairman Bill Schoonover, who had been in poor health and died after contracting pneumonia.
The commission announced at the Sept. 18 meeting that former commissioner and long-time chair Bill Schoonover has died. The presiding commissioner said Schoonover had been in poor health, was fighting cancer and “got pneumonia and could not overcome it.”
Commissioners noted Schoonover’s many years of involvement with the airport and chairmanship of the commission. No formal memorial actions or motions were recorded during the meeting.
Why it matters: Schoonover was a long-serving leader on the commission whose work influenced airport governance; the commission acknowledged his passing as old business and adjourned soon after.
