Thanks Mike. I hadn't heard yet.

Hard to believe. Bill wasn't very old...

For those that don't know, Bill was heavily involved in Bayou City Blues (the Corps that preceded GCS in Houston). I didn't know him well, but I knew he was a good guy.

Oh man, that's terrible. Bill was a good guy. Always looked out for me. I was just talking about him the other day...

Sad hear this...

Bill was a big part of me even getting involved with Drum Corps, BCB, etc.
