A Sad, sad, day for the Boneyard indeed...should we not fly a gnome at half staff or something?

Isn't HuskyBill already at half staff?

(That one was in honor of HuskyBill. I hope he would have like it)

Eli, please accept my condolences for the loss of your brother Bill. I will miss his off beat posts and good humor on this board. I had the honor of meeting him at a women's game after being introduced by another Boneyarder. He was a cool guy and will be missed..

Rest in Peace HuskyBill !! You have the best seats in the house for all future UCONN games. God Bless!!

R.I.P. Bill, your wit and humor will be missed, like a true husky you are and always will be a winner.

I was about to say: "is there any other way?" and, yeah, I think he'd a-liked that..

Eli, thank you so much for sharing the sad news and his obituary. I find myself wondering what a conversation between him and my deceased mother would have been like. She was an avid sports fan, a librarian, and the other end of the political spectrum. I am guessing it would have been engrossing and entertaining and ......... rats, words are leaving me just now. My condolences to you and the rest of the Dunn family.

So sorry for your loss Eli. Keep your happy memories of good times you shared with your brother forever close in your mind.

RIP HuskyBill.

Driving to and between New Orleans and San Antonio on short turnarounds - That alone secures his place in Fan Heaven.

So I just learned I was 41 days old when Bill was born. Hard to lose an age mate. Feels too soon. God bless.

I am sorry for your loss Eli to you and your family. God bless.

Bill, with his hand on my shoulder, and other Boneyarders in Bridgeport last year.

Bill has been called to his 'eternal reward'. May we remember him in our prayers !

 

[Woof 101]

May he rest in peace.

Of course this link would not let him, but I think he would understand...

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

Sorry to hear of Bill's passing! His love of the Huskies was evident in all his posts!

 

[Fishy]

Ah, well.

I'm terribly sorry to read this, Eli.

I only met Bill twice and then for only a brief couple of moments - for some reason, I think the last time was up in Syracuse at least a decade ago.

He seemed a good egg.

 

[zls44]

Bill was an oft-needed voice of reason on here and all-around good guy by all accounts. So sorry for your loss, Eli.

I always enjoyed his posts and the great sense of humor behind them. My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

 

[AllAmerRedHeads]

So very sad to hear of him passing. Always enjoyed his posts and will miss them. May he rest in peace and may his family have peace and comfort in this very sad time

Thanks to all who contributed to this thread. Your sentiments are much appreciated. I posted the info as soon as I did because I knew he would have wanted me to. Bill loved posting here, and especially loved meeting Yarders at those pregame and halftime Yard meetings at Gampel and the XL. It was a part of his life that he really enjoyed. Best wishes to all

Eli

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said about enjoying reading Bill's take on things. To me, his cogent observations made sense and told it like it was -- they could cut through BS and show the craziness of people arguing incessantly in threads. So it's kind of ironic that the thread expressing universal sorrow and loss over Bill's passing is the only thread I can think of where everyone agrees.

So sad. His quick wit and acerbic wisdom was outdone only by his gentle heart. My sympathies to you, Eli, and your family.
