Safe and gentle journey, Bill. I'll always think of you when I'll play those two basses you sold me. You gave a good fight.

Do send us a postcard!

[gweimer]

sad news, indeed.

[dadagoboi]

Always a gentleman with a kind word.  I'll miss you, Bill.

Prayers sent.

This is very, very sad news. Bill always added something positive to the proceedings here. I can only hope to take a cue from his positive attitude and apply it to my own life. I hope he enjoys every minute he has left here on Earth.

Very sad.... Very difficult to find the right words. He is just one of the key figures here. I can only hope he has a good time with friends and family before he leaves.

Gracious... a true Gent...

Not gone... not forgotten... time for a large dram on Friday when I'm off shift...

PM'd

His work was among my earliest inspirations as a builder.

I'm very sad to hear this news...

[Rob]

Peace to you and your family Bill

Sorry to hear we'll be missing his presence on this forum. I always appreciated his positive spirit, knowledge and the cool builds he shared with us. I'm glad we all helped bring a bit of joy for him in his time here as well.

Well, cr*p!!  Why is it the really nice guys who get dealt the worst hand?  Truly sad news.  Gentle journeys Bill.

I don't know how I missed this thread over the past few days. I did notice in his most recent posts that his prognosis had changed and I was hoping (and still am) that he could pull this one out of the fire. I will miss Doc's humor, his wealth of knowledge and most of all the way he played the hand he was dealt.
If it isn't too presumptuous of me, I would like to propose that we rename the "Projects and Mods" forum in his honor, "in perpetuity", as Dennis Miller would say.

Dr Bill's Phantasmagorical Emporium...

Anyway, it's Friday and I said I had a new bottle, Bill... 100 proof, in your honour...

[Grog]

I just noticed this post also.......... Blew me away. Doc has always been a big part of the LBO. More prayers coming from Minnesota..........

Agreed.  "Doc's Place" or "Doc's Shop" perhaps
