Wow, a stoke of bad news comes over the phone tonight from spaceman Bob and then I migrate to the posts!
   
  I am proud to say I knew Bill and had the priveledge to chat with him each year....and at those GOF's. That cool boost gauge and a wife who talks cars with the best of them. Of course I made a mistake of calling him Abe this year only makes me realize how good a friend he was to Bill.
   
  Tha man will be missed for sure. Never a harsh word from the mans mouth and he always enjoyed chatting with ya. We talked a bit at sfest this year when he told stories about his cabriolet repairs. 
   
  One of the best things I did this year was for a family of a good friend of mine that passed away ski patrolling last year. A group of us all made a point to go to his wifes house and build a deck and addition on their home. Things that sometimes can never be done when your alone with no husband. When things settle a bit, I suggest we make the offer for a "honey do list" day. It would be such a good thing for his wife to remember how much of a great group we really are. Give back a little of what Bill gave to us all.
   
  It's never a glad moment to lose a loved one but we make a point to toss back a beer and take a shot of JD for our lost friend every year. Sfests anfd GOF's I demand be no different for Bill!
   
  As Mahoney eluded too. Goodbyes happen for reasons we'll never understand and we cannot control. I'll be glad to see Bill later in life.
