This is Bill's wife Kathy posting. I just wanted to let you all know that Bill passed away suddenly on Thursday, June 11, 2009. Here is a link to the obituary in our local paper (if it works)
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/STL...&pid=128575411
I know Bill spent a lot of time on this forum and I thought I should let you know. Please keep our kids, Sean, Ryan, Kelly and Kaitlin, as well as myself, in your prayers. We are struggling to understand why this had to happen.
Thank you,
Kathy

If there is anything at all that I can do, please let me know.
