MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted June 7, 2018 I talked with Bill a lot outside of this forum, we were friends. So many times I want to send him an email telling him something funny. Or to have him block a bad buyer on Ebay. Or him talk about what he found with his metal detector. Then he would be ready to take off fishing. He would say, "Well someone has to do it" Your deeply missed by me and many others Bill. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Go-C Graphics 856 Posted June 7, 2018 I'm sorry I never made the time to take a drive down there to meet him and his beloved mustang. We talked about it. I missing seeing all the work he did for his veteran group. I remember seeing an article about the story of him getting wounded. Anyone remember where that was? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vietnam his son now shows his Shelby - - - so part of his passion lives on. I had hoped to get back down the next year to meet him again as he was only about 45 min from where I stay in Naples when visiting Mom. He had a Roush before the Shelby and quite a collection of metal detector finds to show us like skeeter said. He showed us the metal detectors he used and shared a story about a friend of his and him across on the east side of the state finding a ring that sold for over $25K.
