William G. Dohe, 53  of Easton, PA passed away Monday, December 10, 2018 at home. William was a man with such a presence; his light filled not only the space he held, but our hearts as well. His visionary perspective on life, nature, and the community helped him to create a world that we all have come to know and love. He was a simple, humble, honest man with much dignity and respect. A heart full of compassion, with a deep understanding of the Universe. His wisdom, kindness, and generosity experienced by all who knew him. My husband’s love for nature was his foundation. He understood its laws and basic principles, and his life and work reflected that. William built his practice, R+D Architecture, from the ground up. His legacy lives on through his architectural designs, and through each of us. Not only have we lost a beautiful soul, but the Earth lost one of her greatest stewards. May we strive to live a more sustainable, and environmentally conscious life in honor of our beloved William.

Born January 19, 1965 he was the son of Virgil and Jo Ann Dohe, brother to Emily Folz, Allison James, and Carrie Dohe. The brother-in-law of Rod Folz, and uncle to Rodney, Caroline and Ryan Folz and Nicole and Coda Pease. Least we forget, Papa to his four-legged ones, Einstein, Niya & Ember. His being will be deeply missed, and his love will live on forever within our hearts, in nature, and within our community. His wife, Ashley Dohe, will continue to carry out his mission in honor of his life and love.
