He was older, so I think that is right.

Yes.

No, that was our Bill...

I was trying to find the email from Bill's family that he had indeed passed 
away, but it has been too long... that message is gone and thunderbird has been 
updated many times since then :(

Bill passed away and his family contacted me about this... It was really sad, I 
remember that much. :(

Take care,
Janis
