Spoke with Bill a few nights ago. He wanted to let you know he is doing okay and very thankful for all your support. We were already reminiscing about the trip and talking about Memphis. He is a lucky man to have gotten to enjoy many years with his father who was 87 at the time of passing, and the family was thankful he didn't have to suffer.. Bill goes out of his way to make sure we are all taken care of, I just hope whatever he needs we can do the same!

We thinkin' about ya bro

Just spoke with Bill this morning.  He seems to be holding up well.  But it's never easy to lose your dad.  Luckily he has a garage and house full of two wheeled distractions to keep him occupied.  Expect an appearance at Memphis, riding or not.

Sorry to hear Bill.  I can relate, I was there just a couple years ago.

The worst part is not being able to ring him on the phone and talk shop.
