In 2008, we were greatly saddened by the death of Randy Papé, a 12-year board member. He was not only dedicated to NW Natural, but he was also a vigorous advocate for the state of Oregon and the policies and organizations that make this such a remarkable place to live. Randy will be missed by all who knew him.
