I only knew Bill through the Internet. However, it soon became clear that we shared similar life values. I miss my friend, and I'm sure losing him is very painful for his family. I offer my most sincere condolences, and I pray to the lord that he give you comfort. God bless Bill and those he leaves behind.

I virtually met Bill in 2006 on a handyman website. He helped answer my newbie questions w/o an issue. Helped me in countless ways over the years. One day I had an instant message, from Bill. He knew I was looking into battery operated chainsaws. He sent me a magazine of his that had an article on them.
Gonna miss him.
RIP Able_Dog.

Kathy's and my deepest condolences to Bill's family, survivors, and friends.
In recent years, I've gotten to know Bill as he helped with numerous building projects, an unending source for "political wisdom", his love for football (especially college!), and compassion. This last year, he and I discussed our respective mortality, and I always came away admiring his perspective and relative peace.
He will be GREATLY missed.
