RIP Wyldbil

[serial]

I'll be toasting to Bil and John on New Years Eve. I'm sure I won't be the only one. Let's hope that 2007 will be a better year for all of us and for the HFC as a whole. We've got a great community here with tons of amazing people.

Lots of love and Happy New Year to all.

We should all be so fortunate to be written about in such a way when our time comes.

EXACTLY!!!!

P.S. Sarah. Bil's is one if the first people who flipped over my hot sauce. His feedback, in his hyper-errudite way, was a BIG part of me having the sand to enter an international contest and come in third as the only amateur. He deservedly comes to mind whenever a bottle is used. You had 14+ years with a gent who effected positive results in others' lives with little effort. I have a feeling that he will live on in many forms.

Now that's a shit thing to hear, always a funny guy both here and on other boards - my thoughts to his family.

Sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

[Nuclear Wessel]

I'm shocked and saddened to hear about this. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Wyldbil in person, but he will be greatly missed.

My prayers and sympathies to you Sarah, and to all his friends and family.

A little late here. Been on vaca and this is the first thing I see when I log on.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Bil, but looked forward to doing so.

I am sorry for your loss.

Sarah,

I am shocked to hear this. I am very sorry for your loss. I never got to meet Bill but always hoped I would get the opportunity at some form of Hamer get together. His unique brand of humor never failed to make me smile when I read one of his posts. He will be missed.

[mattsmith]

I;d like to add my condolences for those this very respected member left behind... heaven done called another 6 stringer back home...

[hamertek98]

I've never met Bil, but I've always enjoyed his posts and responses. What a loss! He will be sorely missed from our little corner of the world and a lot more.

Rest In Peace BrotherBil.

[Abaco]

Very sorry for your loss. This is very sad news.

[burningyen]

[ajay315]

My condolences. Too young. Too nice a guy, from what I've read on this board.

[JJ Paul]

Wow.... sorry to hear this.

[copper blue]

RIP WB...RIP

[black magic]

Holy Cow!! I just found this. This sucks big time. Although I have never met Bill, I have known him on the board for years, and I sold him a cool Hamer Blitz with the optional Stabdard headstock years ago and couldn`t have sold it to a cooler guy. I am so sorry to hear this, I will surely miss him. Jack.

RIP Wyldbil. Can't believe it's been 7 years since we learned about his death on Christmas morning. I remember it every year.

[Steve Haynie]

Cheers to the memory of Wyldbil!

[hamerhead]

[gorch]

I'm very sorry to hear that. All the best to you!

It's hard to believe it's been that long since I've heard the phrase "I think I smell bologna fryin'...". WB was a genuinely nice, personable guy. Miss his annual Halloween "Dressed To Clown" posts too. Remember those?
