Bill was not a very good troll. It was easy to see through him and you knew he was a good guy. I guess we didnt know just how good.

At the visitation yesterday - His family was very down to earth
Turns out Bill played sax as a kid......Went to tech school after HS so that he could work on cars. After a couple years (?) of that he got accepted into GMIT for electrical engineering. Worked in MI for awhile after that, but later transferred out to Cali, with year-round riding being one of the motivations. As part of his job, he went to Japan a few times. Apparently, a couple of the Japanese engineers he worked with flew out here to attend the visitation. They handed his family a letter from one of Isuzu's Vice Presidents, talking about how much they benefitted from working with Bill. Among the many pics laid out at the visitation, I thought this one was the best... Last edited by Homeslice; 10-09-2011 at 01:16 PM.. |

Thanks Homeslice.
I'd also love to see him with his riding gloves on. He must have had a real huge passion (beyond most) for motorcycles if his family thought to put gloves on him.
