Just wanted to let everyone know that Bill has just passed away.
Rally called a short time ago to let me know that his dad,whom I considered a good friend had died.
Bill was not a trapper,but many of you know him for the first class wooden stretchers he made and sold at conventions.
Bill loved to hunt and fish,especially if he was able to do it with Rally.This fall was the first deer opener he missed.
For those that never had the pleasure of sharing a boat with Bill you,don't realize what a good time you missed out on.
There will be no funeral.
Please keep Rally and his family in your thoughts.
And Bill,your fiends are sure going to miss you. Hope the fish are biting for you.

I'm sure the fish are biting!


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Sorry to here of the loss of Bill
Many trappers in northern Manitoba don't realize that when they put up a marten on basswood that Bill had a hand in it before with one of his forming boards
