Another setback in the battle

Got a call from him today, just to catch up.
He's keepin' on keeping on, enjoying cooler weather and said he is going out for breakfast tomorrow, come hell or high water.
:yum:
There's your Muley update.
 
Thanks so much for sharing the updates PG. I was just wondering about the ole feller just the other day.
 
Still alive and been watching little league baseball a lot. The leg draining is a real PITA to try to do much. Don't have much strength anymore to do things anyway.
 
I wasn't going to say a thing about this tonight, but decided perhaps I should.

Got a voicemail from Bill at 6:26pm this evening.
I listened to it after I got home from work.
-----------

Hey Lollie,
I hate to say it, but I think this is gonna be goodbye.
I got real bad kidney failure and they ain't givin' me.. I'll be lucky if I make the weekend.
Anyhow, been nice knowin' you and all the folks on the forums and whatnot.
What can I say.. life's a bitch and then you die.
Love you hun.
Bye.

That's all he said.
:(

Sad to hear Lollie. But thanks for keeping his friends in the loop. You are likely closer to Bill than most. We will all feel your pain.

Myself, I feel like I have known Bill for years and wish I had a chance to meet him. A good guy. His wit and humor touched me and many here. I know he touched your heart.

Sympathy and Prayers is all I can offer.

It's not my pain I am worried about.
It's the pain of his wife losing him so close to celebrating 39 years of marriage recently.
It's knowing what a wonderful down to earth man he is, and pulling no punches when it comes to bullshit that the world often hands us- and how his thinking has always been for the average guy.

He and I always viewed life in the same manner.
He'd call me in the middle of the day and say "what's up?"
Then off we'd go talking about anything from A-Z, often peppered with colourful language and laughter.

He'd ask me what I thought about his many health problems, and I'd say well, this is what I know, what are they telling you?
There would be a comparison of what this doctor says, or what this doctor said- then I'd tell him to trust the old lady doc, because she often had the best advice for him.
I think she's the only one who kept him alive all this time.

Yes, he did touch my heart and my life all through the years.
We helped each other through many painful times.
For that, I will always be thankful.
 
Bill is a great guy. Should he pass, he'll be missed by all that have known him. :(

Like Galvy, prayers being sent. Muley has been a fighter and I too hope a miracle happens and he's with us a bit longer.
 
If this is truly his time, i hope muley looks in on us from time to time. Tell bigal we said hi. We'll miss you here but just know you're going to a better place. Prayers for your wife and family.
 
Just got back from Colorado and was trying to catch up with all that I'd missed and I find this .....

I'm speechless!!!! It's not what I wanted to hear. I'll have to take some time to wrap my head around it.
 
Didn't know him personally except through the boards, but for some reason this really hurts.

RIP Muley you will be missed by many who loved you. :sad:
 
Very sad news..Bill may have been one of the old timers in this virtual world of FF but jeez he could run with the young ones,he gave so many laughs back in the crazy day's hanging out on FF with Rusty and co i split my sides with laughter on a daily basis,just when you thought you had seen it all trust me Bill would post the most outrageous picture with an even more outrageous comment,Thank you Bill you made me smile when it was needed.

His input on FF is our gain,he shared a wealth of knowledge to which will live on here,Bills Love and generous nature touched so many to which i am so grateful,i wish i could have been close enough to shake his hand as he was a rare breed.

Prayers for Bill's wife and all that new and loved him.

Thanks Bill for being you....RIP Sir.
 
Mule, may you be in Heaven an hour before the Devil knows you're dead. We're sending prayers for your wife and family
and will keep them close in our thoughts.

Fair seas and a following wind, my friend. Perhaps we'll meet somewhere, someday.

I've been trying to find the words since I first saw pg's post. This is a perfect description of Bill and everyones relationship with him.

RIP old friend.
 
Someone asked me earlier this afternoon, if I have any proof that he actually has passed.
:confused:

The only proof I have was an email I received this morning, from what I assume was from his wife.
Bill had always told me that when he goes, it'll be without any of the normal that most people have, like an obituary for example.
He said he'd make sure there was a contact person, so I'd know.

He's to be buried on his mountain by the Amish.
Plain and simple.
 
Like all of us I'm sorry to see him go. He was such a fighter. I really don't know what to say. I think I will just turn off my computer because I don't feel like posting.
Before I do though I just want to thank Pirate Girl for letting us know.
It's not easy for you to have to tell us what happened.

The last thing he'd want any of us to do is sit around bawling and in shock.
He loved life and lived it to the fullest doing things his way.

No, it wasn't easy- but death is a part of life.

We're all going to go down that road, sooner or later.
 
I'm sitting by the campfire tonight. Looked up to the sky and raised a beer to Bill. I think that's how he would have wanted us to remember him.
 
Shock, and sadness overwhelm me at the moment. I knew Bill was not in the best shape with all the issues but I was not prepared for this. I worried for him but was not prepared. Damn. RIP Bill. You will be sorely missed. I do trust that you are in a better place.
 
I have avoided this thread for weeks knowing Bill was too stubborn to let go and didn't want to accept the fact he was near the call. The recent activity in it raised my suspicion ..... this hurts a bunch!

Does anyone have the current situation and/or arrangements?
