Bill was an interesting character and Deb and I liked him a lot. Always a great conversationalist and story teller. His story about holding two pick-pockets at knife point in Rome, Italy while waiting for the police to arrive was priceless. We'll miss seeing him at shows. RIP Bill.

A somewhat cranky, but very sweet guy. As Brent said, very interesting man. Vicki had been in touch with him almost daily since he went into the hospital. He has two awesome daughters that Vicki stays in contact with as well.

In the same vein, Vicki's father passed away this morning after a brief hospital stay. He was 87, and had a good life. We went last month to see him play with a Big Band for a Saturday night dance. He was quite an influence on our son, who is also a professional musician. (percussion)

We will miss them both.

Thanks a lot, Joe. I'll pass it on to Vicki.

RIP to both

Fighting cancer is a bitch, but seems just too damned cruel of a way to end a fine life. RIP, Bill.

Also condolences to you and yours John. 87 is a fine life, doesn't sound like he suffered at the end, a blessing! Sounds like his spirit is already passed on to your son, something of comfort to Vicki.

condolences to Vicki and you
