A celebration of life will be held this Sunday for former Shasta County Supervisor, and co-host of “Freedom in Action” on KQMS, Bill Schappell. It will be held at the Scout Hall at Anderson River Park at 3pm. Food will be provided at the event. Schappell passed away early in the morning on August 4th at his home in Shasta Lake City, apparently from heart trouble. He first came to Shasta County in 1978 after purchasing the Lakeshore Resort and Marina. Prior to that he was a professor at Contra Costa Community College, and in recent years he sold real estate for Mistletoe Realty. Although believed to be un-related, he was involved in a traffic collision about a week prior to his death and spent several days in the hospital.
