It is sad not only to see someone go in an untimely manner, but to go at their own hands. I am always saddened to think that there was no other solution better than this.

Condolences to his family, friends, and everyone who knew him. May you never be faced with what he must have faced.

I knew WillyB. My first Internext was in Miami and the infamous boat cruise. WillyB and I hung out a bit and had a blast!

I'll miss him....

My heart goes out to those he left behind...

Greenguy 2003-10-03 02:50 PM

Oh man - this is a huge shock.

I really don't know what to say except that today, we lost a very good friend in the business.

drizzt 2003-10-03 02:59 PM

It's always a shame to see good people leave us. I knew WillyB as a kind person always willing to help anyone who asked him. It's a terrible loss to any and all who knew him. You'll be missed. |sad|

WillyB gave me laughter on Dokk's...with his awful renditions of AC/DC.....he knew they were awful....he put himself out there for our enjoyment...

He was a friend of mine. I was his matron of honour in Vegas..when he remarried DoraP...

After he moved to Arizona...I didn't see much of him...and now he's gone.

My hands are shaking.

Linkster 2003-10-03 04:05 PM

Damn thats bad to hear...such a good person and man - Raven...have you heard from DoraP at all?

Jim 2003-10-03 04:06 PM

Oh man, this just sucks :(

LilBiggz 2003-10-03 04:35 PM

Damn man,
I was just chatting with him last week. I didn't know Willyb all that well but I did meet him and Dorap at the Chi AWE, and I was probably the biggest fan of willybc/dc at ans... Wow this really sucks. |sad|

Best wishes to DoraP / his family & friends...

MrMaryLou 2003-10-03 04:45 PM

Man its a sad day for sure Willyb was one great guy always there when you needed him what can one say he will be missed :(

Cleo 2003-10-03 05:04 PM

I didn't know him, but this is very tragic. :(

I can't imagine what drives someone to this.

DangerDave 2003-10-03 05:40 PM

Oh my god.... I am stunned...

One of the good guys, having never met Willy, I can still say we were mates, he was a special guy, and a rocking guitarist, he will be sorely missed

spookyx i believe at the main board at ans they took care of that!

Hank_Heartland 2003-10-03 06:37 PM

Jim and Greenie:

I met WillyB at the same show I first met you guys and he was good to me through the good times and bad times with that program as you guys were...

It seems he was always around in Vegas when the slots were kicking my ass to cheer me up and have a drink|sad| |sad| |sad|

Another good guy goes down while many assholes keep go'in.

No justice, it's fucked!!!

Hey spookyx, if you got an address email me at Hank@mrskin.com I would like to do the as as i won't use paypal...remember they don't like us!!!

Raven 2003-10-03 08:04 PM

If I've overstepped my bounds, feel free to delete this post...but, Pattyecake is organising an auction to help out DoraP and the kids....

http://gofuckyourself.com/showthread...hreadid=182292

Please give generously...there was no life insurance and no savings....

Spooky...the only reason that Kre has the fund in his name is because Dora is not computer savvy. At a time like this, friends do for friends..she'll get the money.

Not the point I was trying to make. I just feel better sending stuff direct and I never use paypal. But people should feel free to help anyway they can. As soon as DoraP says its ok I will post a mailing address so people can send donations if they wish

Ramster 2003-10-03 09:21 PM

Unbelievable actually.

I'll remember ya Willy for you're rockin acdc times on Albumside.

RIP WillyB

Bell 2003-10-04 05:31 AM

I didn't know WillyB well... but this is sad news... and I hope that his wife and kids will be okay.... I'll wait a couple days to see where would be the best place to send help her way....

if there is anyone else out there feeling so stressed that leaving is an option floating around in your head... please talk to someone... reach out... there is always help to be had... and there is always someone that will care... if they know you need help... if they know you need someone to listen... speak up... reach out... don't give up...

to Dora, the kids and extended family members
|buddy| my thoughts and prayers are with you |buddy|

Still in shock since Raven called me yesterday with the news... thanks Sis... walking into it on the boards would have been worse...

So glad you "overstep your bounds" - I know that's one of the things that WillyB appreciated about you most - and part of why you were one of the few chosen to be there at his Vegas wedding. He knew you'd be honest to a fault.

Happy to see that things are being set up - none of us can even imagine all of the pain, worry, saddness and shock that poor DoraP and their boys must be going through right now. Glad to see that the industry can still come together at a time like this.

It's nice to see everyone posting... folks posting where they might not have ever posted before, for the sake of saying good-bye to a friend. That in itself speaks volumes about the affect that WillyB had on so many people.

JanTM 2003-10-04 11:41 AM

Holy shit... always sad to see people go this way. I sure remember the BC/DC in Albumside too - it was hilarious.

urb 2003-10-04 02:21 PM

I remember WillyB from ANS and I am really shocked. |sad|
