He passed away this afternoon, very suddenly. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue'>Bill was the treasurer for Senior Houndsabound since we became a rescue, almost 4 years. Before that he donated many hours to help Suncoast Basset Rescue with their books. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue'>I spoke with Bill almost daily for the last few years and I could always count on hearing some of the same things, it was sort of our little joke. He was old fashioned and did all our books on a spread sheet, talked him into switching over to QuickBooks this year. His help towards the seniors here and SBR before, was monumental. While I am still in shock with the news, I do feel a little better knowing he is at the Bridge and will most certainly be loving on many of our Bassets who are already there and many who will no doubt get there before me and many of you all. I never had any doubt of how much he loved all Bassets, and mostly, his Bassets, Sophie and Daisy, and their little Beagle boy, Junior. Bill was also a Veteran and loved his country as much as he loved his family and hounds. If you all could keep his wife Carol, and their family in your prayers tonight, I know it would be appreciated. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue'>He will be missed so very much. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue'>Drool to all in need<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#0070C0'>Wen and the Bounders<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#0070C0'><a href="http://www.seniorhoundsabound.org"><span style='color:#0070C0'>www.seniorhoundsabound.org</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
