It is with great regret and sadness that I post the passing of Mountain Bill. The only information I have is that he was on his bike and someone turned in front of him. As information is known it will be posted.
Please keep his family in your prayers!
(I believe Bill served; if correct, please ask Matter to move this thread to Region 7.) |

my prayers and thoughts go to his family. I was truly honored to be able to help greet his son when he came home. Mountain Bill was very sweet to me as it was the first mission i had ever done alone as there was another one right before it. RIP . |

I became instantly sick from hearing about this.
Please let me know any further details that become available.
The only positive thing I can think of, is that I can always use another angel to watch over me. And I know Bill will do a great job of that for all of us.
Bill, you will be missed. |

MaMa Kat I feel a warmth around me like your presence is so near, And I close my eyes to visualize your face when you were here, I adore the times we spent together and they are locked inside my heart, For as long as I have those memories we will never be apart, Even though we cannot speak no more my voice is always there, Because every night before I sleep I have you in my prayer.

I can't believe this. When Mama Jane told me he was in an accident and hurt pretty bad, I thought anything that hits this Mountain of a man had to get the worst of it. Just shows that you can never let your guard down. I'll miss you Bill and the rides we shared will always stand out in my mind and will bring fond memories of you. Condolences to family and friends of this great guy. You will never be forgotten my friend.
