I can only echo Tom's words. When I saw this today I just said "oh my God" and cried a bit. I too never met Bil but man, he had an effect on all of us. What a cool guy with a great sense of humor. He was just one of those guys that everybody here really liked and I don't think I ever saw him exchange an unkind word. Anyone manly enough to proudly sport a pepto pink SS just plain rawks.So sad. My condolences to all the family and all the friends, both here and elsewhere. I can't add anything new, only add my voice to the chorus that said Bil was one of the good ones, one who knew the enjoyment and fun of music, and was a 'fellow' in the very best sense of the word. I'll miss him a lot. Thanks for lending him to us once in a while, Sarah.
