This is Bill’s daughter again. Thank you so much, everyone, for your kind comments about my daddy. While I have bawled my eyes out reading them, it does my heart good to know how very cared about he was by so many.
For anyone who would like to see it, his obituary is here. It only paints a small picture of the amazing man he was.
This is Bill’s daughter. It is with a broken heart that I must let y’all know that my daddy suddenly passed away on Monday morning. He’d had a great week and was feeling much better. While his cancer was out of remission again, his most recent set of scans looked good, and he should have had months left, if not longer. It was very sudden, and we are all still in shock.
This community meant so very much to him!! All of you did!! He would frequently talk about sharing pictures here, and about how kind everyone is, and how much he enjoyed chatting with y’all. He also greatly enjoyed working on the spreadsheets for everyone to use. Please know how special all of you were to him.
Georgia, this comic meant the world to my daddy. We frequently talked about the different strips and related them to our own cats. Your Peep Toad strip had extra special meaning to him, and brought him fond memories of his childhood. He had a framed print, plus a mug and a shirt of it. Thank you for doing what you do and bringing joy to people through your art, your wit, and through sharing your wonderful cats with all of us.
