I am sorry to report that Bill passed away late last year; Dec.11 of 2022.

Definitely one of the 'Old Timers', with an '03 join date; Bill became a CPF staff member at the same time as Norm and I (something like '09 or '10); the three of us started as 'Spaminators' then gradually got more Mod permissions & responsibilities as earlier CPF staff members moved on. We were the last of Darrell's 'rubber glove' initiates, lol. ;-)

Bill was a steadfast Mod here on the forum - never any drama or longwinded ramblings, just a solid CPF member in every respect; outstanding judgement of members' post content. A wide variety of interests which covered most everything EDC - knives were one of the topics he followed and contributed to. A revolver aficionado - for good reason. 👍 I know he relied on Malkoff products for his LED dropins, so he knew the good stuff for sure.

A rock-solid member and a good friend;
RIP Bill 🕯️

It's my sincere hope that Bill passed away during a peaceful nap like my grandfather did, not screaming and crying like all the other passengers in his car.

May Bill rest in peace.

In fall '21 Bill asked me about a spooky movie & what I thought of it,, just a couple simple posts.
Sometimes that's all it takes between a couple CPF members to have even the smallest connection.

Hope you enjoyed the movie Bill 🎇

He raked me in the beginning posting here, but once he could see I was ok, he was fair, respectful and informative.

Our loss

A sad day. One of my early mentors at the beginning of my moderator journey, always fair and level headed. Bill, I hope you're at peace.

Thanks for lighting the way, Bill. When it’s our time to walk towards the light, at least I’ll know who’s holding it…

Rest easy Bill. He was a good Mod and a helpful contributor here. I have been thinking about him and his sudden silence for a while and I suppose it sadly makes sense now. ;(
I think his wife's name was Patty, if I recall him discussing their outings. My sympathies go out to her and the rest of his family.

I am sorry to hear this. I didn't have much direct interaction with him but he struck me as a fair and level headed moderator. RIP good sir. You done good during your time on this earth.

Unfortunate for everyone.

Terrible news! Very sorry to hear of his passing. Had countless interactions with him on CPF. Cannot recall a single negative one. R.I.P.

I remember feeling very honored when he asked for my opinion about vintage light bulbs.
