thereuare Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 It is with sadness that i must report that board member bturner13 has passed away. Some of you may know that he had been battling cancer for the last year and yesterday he lost that fight.In his memory we will donate a portion of the board's revenue this month to the American Cancer Society (or some other organization of his family's choosing).Many of us were touched by his wit and humor, and his presence will be missed.We wish his family well during this difficult time.

WillTravel Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I'm so sorry to hear that. Bill had an excellent sense of humor and was very generous with providing his expertise to fellow travelers. Link to comment
bbbb Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 He will be greatly missed here in the Betterbidding community. Link to comment
flyme2 Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 It comes as a great shock to me. I had no idea he was ill. Though I've not been a board member for more than a couple of weeks, bturner13 and I shared some pm's that managed to display his wit and kindness while making me feel quite at home in these new surroundings. If there is indeed a hereafter, I hope he is aptly rewarded for all his good works. Link to comment

mlgood Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 My sincere condolences to his family. I have enjoyed his posts very much this past year. Link to comment
Scorp Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I am also sad to hear this. While I didn't really know him, I do recognize the 'board name' and remember running across several of his posts, and I think I felt some of his personality through them! I am sorry I cannot have the chance to read more of his writings, or even meet the person behind the words! Link to comment
