My thoughts and prayers are with Cori and Bills family, I know how close they are and how sad they must be tonight. One of my first rides in 2007 was with Bill. He was always smiling, loved riding his bike and was a true Ambassador of our riding community. He will be missed by all. Joe I am sorry you had to post this because I know how close you two were, take care my friend. Rest in Peace Bill, I will miss riding with you. |

| Shredical | The few encounters I've had with Bill always involved him doing something genuine and well intentioned for others. He will be very missed. |

EVERYONE please slow down and take a breath, for Bill, Rob, Gary J... Let's not start guessing, or worrying about what happened - instead focus on ONE thing: what does Cori need??? Cori - this group, this community loved your man - it's time for you to feel the community's love returned. With all my heart I wish I could give you the one thing you want, but I can't. I'm in tears thinking about how much you miss him and how I bet the last thing he was thinking about was you. I'm so sorry this has fallen on you and your family. I can not fathom the depths of your pain... PLEASE do not hesitate to ask for help!!!! Last edited by Clay G; 08-23-2012 at 11:28 PM.. |

And for those that were with him, I feel your pain. I never had a chance to meet SpeedGeek, but talked with him through PM's about good roads in OR. Seemed like a really cool guy. Prayers to his family and friends. |
