This truly is sad news. I learned a lot about the early days of cave exploration sitting at the round plastic table in front of the shop. I'll also miss the large barbecue shindig he put on every fall where we could all enjoy the company of cave divers from all over even if we never got to dive with them. He always kept the shop loaded with unique little pieces of equipment that when I went inside I just had to have even though some of them are sitting in my save a dive kit to this day with the price still on them. Bill, you were a mentor for so many of us. While you may be gone, know you did tremendous things for our sport, our industry and helped a lot of new ( and old ) cave divers along the way and in a special way became an important part of our lives. Believe me when I say from many of us, "You Will truly be missed ".

How terribly sad. Bill was one of the true pioneers of cave diving. I used to love to hang out & listen to his stories, of a bygone era. He will be missed by all who knew him.
So sorry to hear this. Bill was always very good to me and I enjoyed our chats where he would share insights about the local systems. Deep condolences to Linda, his family and friends. He will be missed
so sad to hear, please let us know when services are!
My deepest sympathies for Linda and the family. His contributions to cave diving are numerous and will be remembered always.
Rest Well Bill
I am so sorry to hear this. I am glad I got to visit him a few months ago. He was my Cave Diving instructor, Cave Crack dealer and Friend. The number and vary of people that would ather at his little white table near the fill stations was amaizing. I will miss him.
Sad news, condolences to the family. He will be missed.
