Sad news! The old guard's ranks are starting to thin-out.

Sad news in deed. He fought bravely and was a well like fellow gun travelers. He will be missed by all who knew him. We are poorer for his passing. The only bright side is that I know he is whole again and can now do what he wanted to do for the last 40 years. God bless him and his entire family.

Really sad news . . . I'm really going to miss Bill - a terrible loss. I met Bill about 8 years ago on this board. He was having some computer issues and I offered to help him. We became friends and spent many hours on the phone working to debug some computer problem or other and talking guns, hunting, and family. My first Daly was purchased with Bill's guidance. Bill's attitude and outlook on life were tremendous, and infectious. It was several months after talking with Bill for the first time on the phone that I learned of Bill's injuries. I always wondered if faced with similar circumstances if I could live up to Bill's example. My condolences to Rosalie, Ben, and the rest of Bill's family. We will miss you Owleye.

I came here to learn about shotguns. Bill's posts taught me about life and living.

"All good... Bill!"
Bill lived a life of challenges few of us could have withstood, setting a standard of civility few of us could ever achieve. A true GENTLEMAN in all respects.
I pray for God's comfort and peace for his wife and family.

We've lost a great one, and heaven has gained an angel.
By courage and example Bill showed a lot of us how to live -- and how to forgive. Truly one of the finest men I've ever had the privilege to know. You live on, and none of us will forget you.
Godspeed, Bill, and God Bless

A very great loss for Rosalie and his family, and us here. But, I pray and believe, a promotion to a much better Place for Bill.

Bill's death is a great sadness for those who know him. We were so greatly enriched by his presence which we now trust is with the Lord. We place our hope the Lord will strengthen Rosalie and the family during this time of grieving.

My condolences to the family.
Bill knew his shotguns, but he taught us more about living and how to treat others. God bless Bill Wise.

His like will not soon come again. We will remember his courage and optimism, his advice and support and most of all we will remember that he gave of himself readily and openly. My condolences to Rosalie and her family. T.C. "All Good"
