All of our hearts go out to the Nordstrom family as one of Beta Omega's most influential and successful members from the class of '82, Blake Nordstrom, has just recently passed. From everyone not only at Beta but at the University of Washington as well, we thank you for everything you've done and for being such a great example and leader for Beta Omega. Rest in peace, brother.
[Loss of a Retail Giant] Tonight the Fraternity grieves the unexpected passing of Blake Nordstrom, Washington ’82, co-president of Nordstrom department stores with his two biological Beta brothers, Peter ’84, and Erik ’85. Blake was one of 11 Nordstrom family members who have joined Beta since 1920 – a strong lineage of men of principle widely known for their deep commitment to their employees, customers and communities. He joins the Chapter Eternal at age 58 following a battle with lymphoma. Rest in peace, brother. Our Fraternity will be forever greater because of the example you’ve set.
