Just catching up on this issue. Very sorry to hear about Mr. Bill. I consider him an online friend and I pray for his family.

Godspeed sir.

Will hold out for a miracle but if you slip away I wish the best for what may lie ahead. If you chose going towards the light, I hope you find yourself at WOT behind your wheel and throwing 3rd. We should all be as fortunate to leave such a presence behind us. Clearly you were loved and that's really the best anyone can do.

Go easy Bill.

I am just now seeing this for the first time.

To Mr. Bill and Family,

It's pretty obvious Mr. Bill was a very well liked/loved individual here. Please accept my sincerest condolences if he has indeed passed. If he has not, miracles DO happen and I will pray relentlessly for him until I hear one way or the other for sure.

I have a temporary restraining order on my own personal battle, so this hits me in a very tender spot. I feel your pain more than you could know. May God Bless you and your family in this time.

Godspeed Mr B. I am sure there is a 2015 ZO6 at Heavenly Gates waiting for you.

Respect Steve W
Me too Steve, the man went out of his way to become my friend both personally and online and I'm a better person for it. You and I and MrJean met through MrBill...

Our Reno Air Race week/Corvette Forum breakfast has become an annual event in my life, ...and I intend to continue the tradition.

My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you and family my friend, you are loved and beloved.

MrJean, leaving Idaho today, will be in touch in the next day or so once in town.
