Just read and saddened by this news. He's one of the good guys here.

I always had pictured Mr. Bill looking like his avatar. He's offered to post and had posted pics of mine here. That tells you the kind of man he is. Prayers go to you Mr. Bill and your family. I know you're enjoying your C5 on Heaven Street.

That is a very nice picture. I have always enjoyed his pictures and posts. I will miss those very much.

My prayers go out to him and his family. It is always tough when the good ones get sick or pass on. You will be remembered and missed Mr Bill.

Really saddened by the news! Mr. Bill, rest in peace.

Mr. Bill, help me out with many questions and doubts, and even tough he had many help requesters online, he always shared his time.

Thanks for everything Bill.

See you later.

Thank you everyone... Crazy life this is.


UPDATE: I'm officially a member of the NCM now lol Been playing phone/email tag with the lady there but we got somewhere. The basics have been taken care of, I just need to move the money from my paypal into my checking(not sure how long that takes I imagine a few days). But when that is all taken care of they are going to send me a rough draft of the brick for approval. I'll keep everyone posted.

Thank you

Kris

Thank you. Guess I'm offically a corvette guy now lol

Brick has been paid for and the order is being placed today. They have to design the brick and send it in final approval. Once I get that I'll post it up

Cool, but then you'd better ditch (or at least garage) the Pontiac!

Ohhhh come on Steve. The TA is a garage queen anyways. It's hiding at my friends shop due to space constraints. But hopefully she'll come home soon.

I don't think I'll ever sell it. I would before I sold my dads corvette, but I have no plans on doing either.

Default So sorry.

Oh my goodness, I have not been on the forum for quite awhile, and I was so saddened to hear this. Mr. Bill you will be so missed on this forum, bless your heart, you had such a quick wit. I'm a lady, so you helped me so much when I first got my corvette. God rest your soul. I know you have already received the car of your heavenly choice, and your spirit will always remain with us on the forum.

Thank you everyone. I sure do miss him


On a good note got my little folder form the NCM with a member pin and a few other things. That stuff will go next to the shrine de' Bill. Haven't heard anything on the brick but I know they need to design it and send it to me. We shall see. If I don't hear anything in the next couple of weeks I'll call them to see what the progress report is.

Not on here as often as I used to be and no longer really in the C5 section but, I remember Mr. Bill being one of the most friendly and helpful here. VERY sad to hear this, and this section has lost a very valuable member. This just plain ****ing sucks. RIP Bill
