I emailed her, and she replied, rCLBill died today in Winnipeg. Yes, you
can tell Barry.
You can tell others as well, but I ask that no medical information be on Facebook, please.
-a-a-a-arCLIt was unexpected and without warning.
-a-a-a-arCLWe were about to order brunch when he had a heart attack. Fortunately, Bill did not die in the restaurant.
-a-a-a-arCLThe hospital is the regionrCOs heart specialty hospital, so he was
in good care. His body had a cascade of stuff happen, and the medical

Lee Comment:-a I am stunned by this news.-a He looked young
(well, younger than Barry and me) and healthy and not overweight,
and I expected him to outlive me by a couple of decades.
It was quite a shock to all of us at NASFiC, where he was scheduled to
be on the filk program. Carole came to the con anyway and got lots of
support. Several songs were sung in his memory.
I had accompanied one of his songs, a Gilbert and Sullivan parody, a
couple of times.
