Sad, very sad news Mr. Jean. Thanks for the notice. The content of this thread says so much about the man. He was loved and respected by so many. Rest in peace Mr. Bill.

I didn't know Bill personally and was never fortunate enough to meet him but I considered him a friend. He always made me laugh with some of his posts and his ever changing avatars. I enjoyed his humor and often bantered with him on this forum. I will look him up when I leave this world and go to Heaven as I know that is where he is now!
I'm sorry for his family as I know they are missing him but be assured, he is in a better place and probably taking his pictures and cruising in a c-5.
Here's to you Mr.Bill

Since I no longer own a C5 I don't bother visiting the C5 forum.
However it's funny that just last week I was thinking about people that I missed on the C5 forum and Mr. Bill was the first person I thought of.
As many have said, he was always there to help out those that needed it. I don't believe I ever read a single post where he criticized anyone.
In many ways I wish I could be as good of a man as he was.
RIP Mr. Bill. You were a fine man and will be missed my many.

I am over in the C6 section now, but C5 was my first car and first part of CF. Mr Bill always seemed to have the most and the best information on our C5's. I learned so much about Vettes from him. I love my C6 but always miss his knowledge!
May the Lord Bless the family in this time of grief!
