The loss of Bill really hurts my heart.
Bill is the reason I got into performance boating. I met him in 1999 when he had a Powerquest 280.
When he bought his Top Gun he took me for a ride one day, and I said "I got to get me one of these"!!!!
i have learned so much about boating and boats from Bill.
i remember when I built the garage for my Cigarette, he would come over and help me with projects. We would get to joking and he came up with the name "Skunkwrx" for our projects in the garage.

i can say that Bill left us doing what he loved to do. He was out on his boat surrounded by friends.
Although Bill left us way too early, I will never forget his favorite saying...Drink up *****es!!!!!
So I ask all of you fellow OSO brothers, next time your out out on the boat or at the bar, please raise a glass and have one for my friend saying....Drink up Bithces!!!!!!!

So sad, Bill really was one of the good guys. When it came to electronics and stereo he would always ask if you want it done or done right. I always enjoyed his laughing along with my rants on fb knowing he was probably saying hell yea while liking it. Rest in peace, thanks for the smiles!!
