I too only knew Mr Bill through this forum. His wit, knowledge and humor made me feel like he was a close friend. I write this with heavy heart
And wish George's Family the best. George had many friends whose names he never knew...

Times like this words are hard to find and nothing can be said to take away the pain when a loved one is lost. Mr. Bill was an asset to this forum. His humor and wit always made me laugh and his advice on Corvette matters was top notch. His photography skills are second to none and I always loved looking at the amazing pictures he took of his car and others. Although I never met him personally I can't help but feel like I've lost a friend. He will greatly be missed and this forum just won't be the same.

Mr Bill your ride here is over but you have moved on to a better place. Your Corvetteforum friends will miss you greatly but we know your still cruising with the top out blasting down heavens highways. Ride on Mr. Bill, ride on.

I only knew him through this site and a Nikon forum. He was always helpful and respectful of others. My condolences to his family for their tragic loss.

Not knowing him personally, he seemed like such a nice guy. How sad to hear of his passing.

I never got the chance to meet Mr. Bill, but anyone who spent a day on the forum could tell how great of an asset he was to the forum and to the Corvette community. My condolences to his family and friends.

God Speed my Friend. You will be greatly missed by your Friends and Family but you are now in a better place, free from pain and suffering. I hope there is a brand new C7 Z06 awaiting you at the Pearly Gates to take you through the rest of your journey. Father in heaven, Please watch over and take care of our brother.
Rest In Peace Bill, It was an honor to know you.
My Condolences also go out to the Karadimos Family. May the Good Lord give you strength and peace in these times of sorrow. Although Bill is no longer with us, as long as you keep his memory alive, not only in your minds but in your hearts, he will never really be gone.
God Bless you all

I am saddened by Mr. Bills passing.

My condolences to his family and close friends.

He will be missed but never forgotten.

I think a good mans wish in life is how he is remembered and who he was able to touch. Bill touched many of us here on the Form and I am thankful for that. R. I. P.

Very sorry to hear the news. I appreciated the pic's he would share though we never directly interacted. If nothing else he (and his story) has taught me a couple things: 1) This "waxer" will putting a few more miles on his C5 this summer. Life is short. 2) Treat your fellow forum members with respect for we all share the same passion, just different taste's in how we excercise it.

Rest in peace.
