wyldbil 1 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hello, everyone. I am Sarah, wyldbil's wife.I am sorry to tell you that wyldbil passed away suddenly on December 8. He suffered a massive heart attack while at work and the paramedics and doctors were not able to revive him.He was 45 and we would have celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary this coming Thursday. (Dec. 28).I'm keeping his personal email and his myspace pages going for awhile to help get the word out...he had so many friends and I'm just not sure who's heard and who hasn't. So, if any of you need to contact me, please feel free to use either of those methods. Bil was a great guitar player and an even better person. He was passionate about Hamer guitars and I know he enjoyed all the camaraderie on this board. He will be missed.There were a couple of nice articles in the local press if anyone would like to read them:Maryville Daily TimesMetroPulseTo steal a line from my husband, "Thank you...and good night!"Sarah Link to post Share on other sites
