Bill was a wonderful, welcoming man, who made everyone feel humble but proud. I only wish we could create a memorial that would see him proud. To Bill - thanks for your first post to me; thanks for the last; and thanks for all the kind thought in between.

Excellent gallery and dedication to the memory of a fine person. I never met Bill, but we communicated several times. He loved the art and is missed.
Thank you for doing this Paul.
All the best,
Gary

I am saddened to hear of Bill (Bootstrap's) passing. I never met him in person but his personality came through so strong on these forums that I could sense the man he was.
I will miss him and his contributions here. My sincere condolences to Bill's family.
Ps. I just lost my own dad 1 month ago.
