Service above self, especially helping young Kennesaw residents, is the legacy longtime Councilman William E. “Bill” Thrash will leave behind to his beloved city. The 58-year-old died Thursday night after a battle with bladder cancer. “The city, as well as my heart, has a hole in it,” friend and Councilman Bruce Jenkins said. “He was just an inspiration, that’s what I loved about him.”
