Title: Prayers needed for another GS member
Post by: Loren At 65GS on December 12, 2024, 05:01:57 PM
Prayers are needed for another good friend and fellow GS family member.
I learned today that Bill S [gs spoken here], was involved in an automobile accident this afternoon. He is in the ICU with multiple fractures. Presently this is all I have for information.

Oh no, that is sad news. I was hoping he would recover.
I've also bought parts from him several times and always enjoyed corresponding with him.
I finally welded on a quarter panel section to one of my 66 projects that I got from him. I imagine I will be reminded of him for years to come. He certainly was a kindred spirit to me as many of you here are. RIP Bill, you will be missed.

Dear Loren and 65GS.com community,

. . .
I learned today that Bill S [gs spoken here], was involved in an automobile accident this afternoon. He is in the ICU with multiple fractures. Presently this is all I have for information.
. . .
I received extremely heartbreaking news earlier this evening that Bill passed away at the hospital.
. . .

So sorry to hear this.  It is especially sad to for someone who so loved automotives to meet such a fate.  So many people drive as if their vehicle wasn't much more important than the wrapper of a fast-food meal.  The world would surely be a better place if everyone had the respect and empathy for our 4-wheeled transportation that we all have here.

Rest in peace Bill and may his family be comforted.

Let this be another reason for all of us to be extra careful on the roads at this time of year.  Like it or not, there is a good chance that the man or woman driving that other vehicle won't be.

Oh man thats terrible news !  Ive also bought parts from Bill , the engine block in my 2dr hardtop came from him , ill think of him every time i drive it .  He was a great guy . I still remember when he won an award at one of the BCA meets with his Buick Regal T type , he wasn't expecting it and was smiling from ear to ear .
Bill will defiantly be missed !   Prayers to the family .

Even after a two day, 1500-mile drive, to get back to Nebraska.  I'm still in shock.
I won't ever forget the morning calls and his first comment " Did I catch you at a bad time?"
Above is a link to his obituary. It pales in telling of Bill. There is so much more about this man than can be said in an obituary.

Dear Loren and mid-60s Buick caregivers who have to struggle with our very human world,

Even after a two day, 1500-mile drive, to get back to Nebraska.  I'm still in shock.
I won't ever forget the morning calls and his first comment " Did I catch you at a bad time?"
Above is a link to his obituary. It pales in telling of Bill. There is so much more about this man than can be said in an obituary.

Thank you Loren for being our emissary.  I'm sure that long drive under tough conditions only added to a stressful situation.  Try to find some quiet, peaceful moments to take care of yourself as you prepare for the Wednesday service.

I've always found the Christmas season to be particularly difficult considering the extent to which people make themselves effectively drunk in merrymaking.  The reasons for hope are hardly simple or guaranteed.  Yesterday while visiting Corsica,  the Pope pleaded for a dialog between the secular and religious, instead of faith being forced underground.  May we all find the courage to remind the rest of the world that Christmas isn't simply an excuse to party - no matter how many times we are called a party pooper for our honesty.

We should leave a message in the guest book at the funeral home so people know Bill has friends from all over the country.
