I did not know Bill but every photo shows a man with a vibrant smile. That's the sign of a man with true inner peace.
God bless!

Peace be with him and his lovely and loving wife. The time he shared with all of us was priceless. May the angels of God advance to meet him.

In some African cultures when the hunters bring down a large animal they sit around it in a circle to mourn the hole in the universe created by the loss of this noble life. Although the end of every human life creates a hole in the universe, with the loss of some, the dimension of the missing part is palpable and takes a long time to be filled in by our good thoughts ........ And for some like Bill it will take a very long time to fill the space .... even with the abundance of our good thoughts.
Bon Voyage Bill

Learned with deep regret at the passing of a premier contributor to us all. With the most profound sympathy for his family.

Here's the cover of a DVD that Bill sent me a couple of years ago. That's Bill in the photo surfing sometime in the early 1960's... sorry it's not that clear but it was the best I could do.

We are certainly less than we were. My prayers are with Bill's family. Lee

All-
After re-reading all of the eloquent tributes from everyone here, Yeti said it so well......
"..I came here to learn about shotguns. Bill's posts taught me about life and living..."

If I were writing these words with ink, the page would be smudged. I'll try to follow his advise and fill the hole in my heart with his memories.
My condolences to Rosalie and the family.

All those that knew Bill through this site should visit his website, billwisesurfs.com . I truly can't believe this is happening. I thought we had more time. Bill Murphy
