Thanks for posting...I was able to spend some time with Bill in Birmingham my 2 years there in 2003-04. Really good guy and a True Blue LaTech die hard.

So sorry to hear of his passing. Was he a member of BBB?

I understand that Bill suffered from a blood clot possibly pulmonary embolism. He was showering and was gone in an instant!

I did not know him, but here is his obituary. Note that the family is asking for memorial donations to be paid to La. Tech Athletics.

Wow....the exact same thing happened to a good friend of mine on Jan. 29. He got out of bed after being bed-ridden for several days with the flu, his knees buckled, and he was instantly dead! He was only 62.
