Almighty Father, eternal God, hear our prayers for Your Son whom You have called from this life to Yourself.
Grant him light, happiness, and peace. Let him pass in safety through the gates of death, and live forever with all Your saints in the light You promised to Abraham and to all his descendants in faith.
Guard him from all harm and on that great day of resurrection and reward raise him up with all Your saints. Pardon his sins and give him eternal life in Your kingdom.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

I've only been a Corvette Forum member since May 2014, but Mr. Bill made a great impression upon me. I will miss his posts dearly, and he will be missed by everyone who knew him. May his family be touched by the grace of God. Rest in peace Mr. Bill, you will be sweetly remembered by all who knew you.

My sincere condolences to Mr. Bill's friend and family.
His generosity in the sharing of his abilities will be missed by many more than just me. Many times my frustration in reading poor advice from uncaring individuals of marginal understanding was cut like a knife by the applied intelligence and training of this man.
His advice was valued and trusted , and, on occasion, used to my benefit. I am sure his distributed knowledge with keep many C5's on the road, a nice tribute.

Well put, but bittersweet !
Been away from the Forum for a while and was shocked to see this post!! I have considered Mr. Bill a good online friend for years. So say I'm sad would be an understatement.
He has been a valuable contributor on technical issues, advice for anyone,,and his photography was second to none. Then there was his sense of humor that will be sorely missed!! Farewell ol buddy. Wish I had the chance to meet you in person,,,,Rest In Peace!!!

This is Kris, Bills son. First and foremost I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words.
As some people on here may know my father was more than a father to me. He was my best friend. No matter where I was in my entire life we never went more than a couple days without talking or seeing each other.
He was a great man who shared so much with everyone around him. He had a knack to make the worst days better, he was a strong happy person who spread happiness like a bad virus.
I already miss him, and from the looks of it so will many of you.
It makes me smile to know that he had that much of an impact on all your lives even if many of you never met him.
Thanks

His first grandson will be here in just over 2 months. I told him not long ago if I was half the father he was I'd be one of the best dads around. He really was an awesome human being. I'm glad you agree.
I'll be out and about at HAN, I usually am. If you corvette guys are meeting up, I may be able to come introduce myself.
Thanks for the kind words
