I thought paypal was easy to set up & a paypal account comes in very handy buying parts on this site,as most will only take paypal for their parts.

There are several bricks that mighty be applicable. Here is one:
http://store.corvettemuseum.com/detail.aspx?ID=785
And another:
http://store.corvettemuseum.com/detail.aspx?ID=2233
Just ideas....Let's get this going. Kris..why don't you be the 'hub'. Go to:
http://store.corvettemuseum.com/Sear...?CategoryID=55
And select a brick you think apropos for your Dad, Say what you want on it, then start a Go Fund Me account.
Just my own personal thought: I know he was known as Mr. Bill here, but on the brick, I would prefer to see his name: Bill Karadimos. Again, this is just my own feelings. Whatever you guys (and gals) wish, will be OK for me!

I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Bill's illness and passing.
Quite a shock to most of us on the Forum.
As has been said by many...he will be missed.
I wish I had gotten the opportunity to meet him, but, did not.
His posting were always entertaining, to say the least, and informative.
Same with his photography. He really had a knack for taking great pics.
Since getting the news I mostly picture him sitting and chatting with Frank Zappa!! Just can't seem to get that image out of my mind.
If a fund is set up for the Mr. Bill NCM brick I will certainly be a contributor. As popular as he was on here I wouldn't be surprised if there ended up being enough contributions to have a wing of the museum named in his honor!!
I agree that it should include his full, real name, but also feel strongly that it should reference that he was "THE Mr. Bill from the Corvette Forum"!!!
God bless Mr. Bill and may he rest in peace..............

Bill helped me a number of times here. He was always knowledgeable and helpful, one of the true contributers to this forum. Much of his knowledge is thankfully preserved here so others may still benefit from his wealth of info he gave.
RIP Bill.
Count me in as a contributer if you decide to go through with the NCM idea, in whatever form.

Wow. I come to post I got the car out of the garage and see what's new and I see this.
Very sad news. Mr Bill was always there to try and help when he could.....one of the last genuine guys out there for sure.
You will be greatly missed RIP
