I missed having his tribute here so Suecitysue is going to put it in a sticky message to remain indefinitely. I asked her permission to do this and she was in agreement. Bill literally saved my life! Yes, may he Rest in Peace!

I will always remember and be thankful that he started this group - he and his wife were so young and passed so close together.
Thank you Bill you will not be forgotten
( This was my first group on Eons which saved me )

Mine too Chris. I just went back and checked and the first post I found by Bill was in January,'07 but he speaks of having posted before that. My firsts posts are no longer there either for some reason. He and I discussed this. Anyhow, my husband died in March, 2005 and I was in a terrible mental state. I just didn't think I could go on. I was in the doctor's office and picked up an AARP magazine to read, and saw an ad for Eons and this group in particular. I joined Eons and this group and it saved my life. I will be eternally grateful to Bill.

This is a nice thread/memorial for him as the other posts for him - he was way too young - but you could read of his being heartbroken after his wife's passing.
Nan, I found Eons by going online to find a support group in RI - and when googling - eons and this group popped up.
At first I was leary as I never joined a group online - but it blossomed for me with so many good folks to communicate with.
I am sure Bill would be smiling to know how he helped so many.
