So sorry to hear this. We commented to each other often, even though we were so different. He was a true ambassador for BBQ!. He will be very much missed!

Talked to him on the phone several times over the years.....a great man who took on raising his children and never complained. He has had a number of health problems over the years and always took those head on. I remember when he got fired from square D and then started a little BBQ sauce business......:)

Very sad to hear this.

Oh man that is sad news. What a nice person we have lost. 

You are right. Don’t remember him ever being negative even when he was sick. 

Condolences to his children, family and friends.

Sorry to hear this. Bill was a great barbecue man, but even better father by all accounts.

I am sorry to hear this. I'm also proud to have met him. Lay in peace, Bill. He was a fountain of knowledge and love.

Dang! 
Of course that won't stop me thinking of him every time I see a Blues Hog label. More than I can offer most people.

Bill was a great man.  I remember when he was building his business, I mentioned on the group that I was between jobs and a bit bummed out, and Bill sent me a care package of his greatest hits.  What a nice, generous man.  We traded Christmas cards for a few years.  I guess his girls are all grown by now.  It would be nice if someone could forward the group's condolences and remembrances to his girls.
