Opdyke set an example of giving to community
Last week in the News & Record, I read of the passing of my friend and former associate, Bill Opdyke.
Bill and his wife, Doris, were indeed a class act. Bill would certainly be a role model for anyone because of his success in business, but at the same time he remembered the needs of those much less fortunate.
I had the privilege, as mayor, of working with him when he was chairman of the Greensboro Housing Authority. He saw that agency through some very difficult times and helped us lead the cause for public housing scattered sites.
What a wonderful example for all of us to follow of giving back to your community. Bill will certainly be missed.
