I sure hate to hear that bad news, although I knew he was in real bad shape. Bill was a good man and he helped me out a lot. He was a wealth of information and he had a remarkable ability to remember dogs and their lineage several generations back.
I'm sure Bill knew the end was near. Wednesday he asked his son to bring one of his dogs to his bedside so he could pet it. He said the dog layed his head on Bill's chest as if he knew things were bad.
Bill was strict with his dogs, but you could tell he loved them, too.
Here is a picture I took of Bill and his late Simba dog. I had it framed and when I gave it to him, he had a tear in his eye.
Rest in Peace, my friend...
