Dr. William H. Danforth (1926 - 2020)
Dr. William H. Danforth, Founder
Dr. William H. Danforth loved people. He touched the lives of so many and united people to accomplish great things. As founder of the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, he worked to ensure the health and happiness of people around the world and to create opportunities for the people of St. Louis. He created an enduring legacy that will be felt for generations—and a challenge to each of us to continue the work.
