I did not have the privilege of knowing him personally but we certainly exchanged our share of e-mails and in them he clearly came across as a class act. At one time he and I agreed to swap blogads in the attempt to simply share readers. More times, he's linked to me and me to his place at Old War Dogs.
Today in e-mail we've learned that he's passed away.
His voice will be missed.
God's comfort and love to his family. God's peace and rest to Bill.
A number of bloggers are posting tributes and rightly so. They include the following thus far and I'm sure there'll be more (I'll add them as I find them):
UPDATE:
The ol' dogs got at least one reader from this site.
He will be missed.
