I never met Bill as we met over the internet, and I really only knew him for 7 months. He seemed a very friendly, caring family man that shared the same interest as myself and others on our forum. We only spoke a few times, and got on really well. I'm sure if were here today, our freindship would have been so much stronger. I can't believe it's been two years Bill. R.I.P. mate.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss Steph. I knew your Dad through a mutual love of our hobby, toy cars! He was a very talented guy and so modest with it. I'll miss his friendly banter. Thanks for keeping his site up, its great to still be able to appreciate his talent. Best wishes to you and your family. Duncan.

Steph: Thanks so much for putting a face to the Man I met over the internet. We became friends, of a sort, and I will miss him dearly, even though I never met him. Kind of hard when I live in Western Canada. Wonderful boxes (I have a few) and a very nice and sincere person. I hope this site will continue in his memory for many years to come as it is a great reference site. Thanks again so much for keeping it up and running. Jim Noble in Beautiful British Columbia, Canada. RIP BILL
