In Loving Memory of Mr. Bill Hyams

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family members and friends of Mr. Bill Hyams. Mr. Hyams was a dedicated and loyal volunteer for many years with Clarksville Academy. Many of you may have purchased a game ticket from him at our sports complex gate or at our basketball games. He also volunteered many hours listening to our Lower School students read. He was kind, fun-loving and filled with patience and admiration for our faculty, staff and students. His presence will be missed, but we know his joy-filled spirit will continue to make us smile for the years ahead.

Visitation for Mr. Hyams will be held at McReynolds, Nave, and Larson Funeral Home on Madison Street on Friday, March 4, 2016, from 4:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. and Saturday, March 5, 2016, from 9:00 A.M. until the time of the funeral service, which will begin at 11:00 A.M.

If you would like to make a donation to Clarksville Academy in Mr. Hyams’ memory, please visit our Business Office or mail your donation to Clarksville Academy, Attn: Sally Allen, 710 North Second Street, Clarksville, Tennessee 37040. You may also submit your donation through Marketplace at www.marketplace.clarksvilleacademy.com.
