In memory of
William (Bill) Frederick Rowan
April 28, 1957-December 1, 2020
“The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”
From 1984 to 2020, Bill Rowan's leadership as the first Director of the Lewis County Office of
Emergency Management and the Lewis/Gilmer E-911 Center left an indelible mark on our county's
emergency operations. Bill spearheaded the creation of the Lewis County E-911 Center in 1990
and tirelessly worked to improve facilities and services for our community
bringing the vision of this center to fruition. With deep gratitude, we dedicate the
William F. "Bill" Rowan Emergency Operations Center
