One of our own has passed..

UHH regular, Snap Shot (Bill), has been missing since mid-September. I was able to contact someone at a camera club where he was an active member. They said he had missed their October meeting and they promised to do some detective work to see if he was OK.
Finally, yesterday I received this message:
"I've confirmed with the sheriff that Bill passed away about six weeks ago. Could you please let his friends know. Sorry - I don't have any other info. I know he was going to Merced for more medical tests the day after the Sept meeting. I suspect he entered the hospital and never left."
My condolences to you."
I enjoyed Bill's always cheerful work and his willingness to help in any way he could. He did some wonderful tutorials. But even more important, he was a friend and he will be missed!
Bill joined UHH in June, 2012. He was a very active member. During his years here he created 2,040 new topics and contributed 39,800 comments to his fellow photographer's. I'll attach a link to his work on UHH below for those who are not familiar with it or that want to see it again.

Carol, thank you so much for getting this sad news to us. I, too, have missed his daily posts and was wondering what had happened. I'm so sorry for his family and he will be sorely missed here. I spoke to him often on the phone and will miss our conversations.

Thank you Carol. Bill was a really great guy. He would take his point and shoot to the local market and take snaps of flowers. He would then bring those home and work his magic on them. His enthusiasm and just kind demeanor will be sorely missed. We all miss you Bill and know you are making your art still and sharing it. RIP brother.
