Default Very Sad News ...

To my Corvette Friends out there ...

It is my sad duty to let everyone know that Bill Smook passed away early this morning, at about 1:00am.

Bill's son William has been working at my store this summer, and he had left me a voice message this afternoon, I called him back, and spoke to his uncle, and he told me about Bill's passing.

I took a small care package over to his family this evening, and offered them what ever support I could.

His wife told me that there would be a notice in the Toronto Star, and that they were planning on a Sunday funeral.

Mark

That is terrible news. My prayers and thoughts go out to Bill and his family.

Mark thanks for letting us know.

I won't be in town Sunday but if there is somewhere we can send flowers or make a donation in his name I'd lilke to do so.

What? That's crazy. I can't believe it.

Well, at least he lived his life to the fullest and bought a new Vette every year.

My condolences to his family.

I don't know all the details at this point, but his wife thought that he had a heart attack or blood clot ... it was very sudden, and unexpected.
