I found this one imspiring, although before my time on SR. But when I landed here in 2016, I read back on people’s posts that made sense to me, including Bills’.

When he started this thread, Bill was hospitalised, after major surgery, particularly given Bills age, just a couple of weeks short of his 87th birthday. Stoicism and AV ignoring at its’ best: a remarkable gentleman, was Bill.

After reading all these testimonials, I feel sad to have never met Bill here. I clearly missed out. I feel confident I’m benefiting from his great legacy, though. For that, thank you 🙏 Bill.

This is a far shorter thread, the Power of Now, when Bill was 89 years old:

If you (or anyone) opens up one of the links and go to one of Bills posts, click on his name and you'll get a list of all the threads he started.

This great thing about a place like SR is no one needs to miss out on a particular poster or their wisdom
