From Sandy @ Hill Studio P.C.
I am writing to you on behalf of David Hill, President, Hill Studio P.C., to inform you we found out earlier this week that our former vice-president, co-worker, and dear friend, Don Harwood, passed away on Wednesday, July 10, as the result of a tragic car accident near Gaffney, SC. We have been in touch with his wife, Bev James, and his son, Shawn Harwood. They are both struggling with this tragic loss and will have a memorial service for family on Saturday, July 20, in Greenville, SC.
Don was such a special person and amazing architect who influenced many lives in Roanoke, the region, and throughout Virginia and the Carolinas. All of us have special memories of enduring friendships and shared outstanding work projects with Don over the past thirty or more years. His kindness, humor, and talents for working with many people will be greatly missed.
To honor Don and help Don's friends and regional clients through his loss, Hill Studio plans to work with his family to host a celebration of life in the fall here in Roanoke. We are particularly interested in sharing memories and celebrating some of his great community projects and architectural achievements. We hope that you will join us in the future and share this with others.
In the interim, we would like to assemble some comforting memories of Don and his work to share with his family. Please take a moment to share with us some of your thoughts or memories of Don.

Office Manager
