Wow, another shock! :disgusted

Man, Bill was such a good guy- always said hello whether he was racing or at the track as a fan. He had a great year in that 3-wheeler back in 2005 and won several awards because of it.

Along with Bill, his family was very supportive of not only the track, but weekly give aways, etc. and they are the type of people that we didn’t have to ask for support. Instead, they would just offer.

My condolences go out to Bill’s family, friends and everyone that had the pleasure of knowing him- I know that I have.

We are so sorry to hear this awful news. Bill was one of the first people to come over to say hi and offer any help to us the first night we went to Bethel last year. With all the problems we had with our car throughout the season, he always offered his help and support which was greatly appreciated. Truly one of the good guys, both as a racer and as a person.

Our deepest condolences to his entire family and friends, especially to you Norm and Joe, I know you were all good buddies for a long time.
Rest in peace Cowboy, you will be greatly missed.:*-(

Yes indeed- Bill was a great guy. Very friendly and always willing to help whenever he could. I remember it took one whole year to get everyone to get the spelling of his last name right and to this day i can't remember if it is one "L' or two "L's"
My condolences to Bill's entire family and friends.
