    My heart dropped today as I read the post of Bill's decline and demise.My heart goes out to his family and friends and all those who knew him well. I pray the peace of God that surpasses all understanding is bestowed on those hurting at this difficult time. Rest in peace Bill...

    I've onlyn been here a few months but I remember Bill as one of the first to offer me adivce. I needed a lot of advice and Bill (along with others) never witheld any part of their knowledge nor have any of you expected anything in return.
    What a waste.

    Like many others here, I only knew Bill through forum postings. The fact that so many people are so affected by someone they never met in person speaks volumes about the kind of person he must have been. All of my condolences and sympathy go out to his family and friends.

    "Are we going to do any type of memorial? I was thinking something along the lines of a major restoration of his wrecked bike, where we could all donate parts, money, time, etc, to get the bike in tip-top shape, and then put the bike in some significant spot. i would be willing to donate for it" Schooter

    I like this idea, not sure about using his bike though. I too am willing to donate for it.

    Be careful out there friends.

    Rest in Peace Bill and Godspeed.

    May the good Lord have a special place in heaven for our friend Bill, & special comforts for his family. I am really at a loss, I/we were so hoping there would be a miracle. We/the forum have lost a great friend & brother.

    This is truly awful news. I just don't know what to say. I never met Bill, but I always respected what he had to say. My heart breaks for his family as I can only imagine what they have gone through. I pray that they find peace that even at his end of time with us here, he is still helping others.


    I couldn't agree with lostboy more. There should be a place of honor for those that have contributed greatly to be recognized for their efforts while with us her on earth. While Bill may be gone from us now, he should not be forgotten.

    I'm heartbroken and speechless.

    A lot of people affected, and my sympathies to all of them. Seems unreal. It should be unreal.

    I only had a chance to talk to him a few times, but I can honestly say that his kindness was sincere and his belief in helping others is something we should all try to do in life.
    There are very few times in our journey of life that we get the chance to meet a soul that was placed here to do for others knowing his reward was doing right for others. bill was that man.

    Godspeed, Bill. may your next journey be peaceful and full of love like you gave all of us.

    My heart goes out to the family, if Bill could make such a difference in people's lives through an online forum just imagine him in real life. It's hard to find the words... we'll miss you Bill.

    He will never be gone or forgotten as long as the ones that know him and love keep his memory alive in their heart. My condolences to his family and to everybody that called him Friend. RIP

    This is unbelievable. This just happened on another forum as well. My most sincere condolences and sympathy to Bill's family and friends. You will be missed here, but are truly in a better place. May God take you under his wing.
