What a great BL! What a great guy!! I didn’t know you but you will be greatly missed by so many that loved you! You are probably seeing Lifers in Hawaii right now up in Paradise!

I think of you and your family every day and pray for you to have strength during the difficulty. I also hope you can get a little bit of outdoor time to see some birds. Cherish time with family and friends. You’ve taught me a lot on birding rendezvous; thinks I can keep forever. as inspiration. Peace to you, Bill.

I pray you strong and get a big burst of energy so you can get everything on your BL accomplished!!!

Dearest Bill,
We love you! Judy and Hugh (aka Hu-Dy) now live in Southern California as care-givers to her mom and dad.
We miss Ohio, and we miss you!!!!
Sending you ALL our love,
Hu-Dy

I am comfortable with your contentment of bucket list. I am feeling those who have meant so much to me who had no bucket list or were angry....and you, my dear dear JD's most special friend who has decided to embrace your predicament with grace and style!
For thirty years I have cherished that young man's friendship. And for almost that long he has shared your friendship with me....from his wedding (I made his wedding cake) to my visit to visit your family somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 years ago....I care about what he cherishes and he has shared that love and friendship to me. You have been a rock to him and in that...to me!
I am proud to vicariously held the friendship with the greater family....know that you are in my heart....my mind....and I, I light a light at your alter of peace and comfort....
Work on that list.....
A list share....I grew up in Hawaii and wish your bucket list had made this one a reality....it is everything you need spiritually.....promise....I use it every day....I hope you meet my father...(I miss him very much and had no closure...). With Alzheimer’s in 1984 he who was being watched by an incompetent brother...disappeared and was never found......I can never go home....Paula Bauer.....

Bill: I have been volunteering at hospices for about two years now and that work always makes me think about how I will behave at the end of my life, if I am lucky enough to know it is coming. I have learned only two things: people die like they live -- there are not some amazing transformations that change SOBs into sweethearts or bad parents into good ones. And now I have learned that you are doing all the thing I hope to have the strength to do. I think of you every day and am grateful for the gift you have given me -- an amazing example of grace and beauty.

Wonderful list and I like the modified list as well. Yes people still buy CDs, I prefer them. I just bought the latest Rain Crows CD. Continue to enjoy your family and friends, make peace, enjoy and play music. Do what you can day by day. Our priorities tend to change according to our energy.

Hi there Bill, and greetings from sunny South Africa.....from Peter Lawson and me......
You're one helluva guy, and your support system is awesome and 'paw-some'! Please know that our prayers, love, concern, grief and yes joy! reach out across the miles to you and we send tight hugs too (OK, maybe not too tight since you're so skinny!) But you'll feel them, and know they come from South Africa.
We love you guys,
Karen B

Bill, believe I only met you once. That was at Wendy’s Moms funeral visitation & burial. Judy & I grew up together thru church, Sunday school and then thru high school. She was one of the kindest persons, I recall thru school.
Both you and Wendy should be given awards for your pure guts of telling all from beginning in December until now. March 24, 2019. I so admire your dedication of love pouring your hearts out to the world, I believe your posts of happiness, sadness, not knowing exactly when your time up. Y’all have made us all shed tears of love, tenderness, happiness, sadness, thoughtfulness, I will say I do believe in miracles and if God isn’t ready for you to come home. Everyone will accept this gift with open arms. Ok ok ok am I being way to dramatic🤪🥴, just continue to love with all your heart and soul. And we all will be joyous for you when you cross over to your eternal life where there will be no more pain and sorrow. It is with much love, appreciation, dedication I honor and salute you, Wendy, your children, your Mama all your family for a wonderful life you have lead. Much love and I still will look forward to your posts and Wendy’s posts and updates. And Miracles🤔🙃🙄

Thank you for sharing. Your strength & foresight are amazing!
Praying for you and your family. It breaks my heart to think of your declining health.
Much love to you and your family. ❤️
