Bill Truex Changed Burlington

Bill Truex passed away recently, leaving behind an amazing legacy. His mark on Burlington, VT will forever be intertwined with our history at the BBA. 

For those of us who knew him, it was Bill as a mentor and friend that we will miss the most. As the leader of the BBA I turned to Bill on many occasions for advice, information, support, or help. Bill never said no. And he stayed engaged in Burlington, always willing to work to help improve the city and Lake Champlain, two things he loved.

We can honor Bill’s legacy by taking care of the place he loved.
