To the family of Bill Pewtress. Very sad to hear of Bill’s passing. He was a man of stature in every respect and I held him in the highest regard in the VJCA. I toured with Bill to Albury/Wodonga and Perth and felt well nurtured by his leadership and caring nature. I live in Canada now and had not see Bill since 1977. So sorry I can’t be at his service. He will forever be a fond memory. Adrian Cooke

Netball Australia sends its condolences to the Pewtress family, following the passing of Bill. Bill Pewtress OAM and Marg Pewtress OAM were a formidable team, and they were incredibly supportive of each other. Their involvement in netball and cricket became a shared passion – Bill was a wonderful supporter of netball and a friend to many netball alumni. Their legacy will forever be etched in the history of Netball Australia.
