Eric and Willow Angel Family Scholarship Endowment

Some people make the world better without asking anyone to notice.

Eric Angel is one of those people.

Eric has the quiet competence of someone who simply shows up, does the work, helps without fanfare, and leaves things better than he found them. He is technically skilled, practical, generous, and steady. A lifelong friend since grade school, an engineer, a builder, and a volunteer, Eric is the kind of person every community needs more of. He solves problems. He supports others. He takes pride in good work, whether it is his or someone else’s.

He is the friend who will help build your fence and somehow make it better than it would have been if you had built it alone. He will not make the project about himself. He will just help. That is no small thing. He understands that service does not need speeches or ceremony. That it is enough to be useful, kind, capable, and present. 

The Eric and Willow Angel Family Scholarship honors that example: quiet competence, practical skill, humility, service, and the steady character to improve the lives and communities around us.
