Lindy Bill has been a fine example for all emcees on SI. How to set and maintain high standards on political threads. God be with him is my prayer.

I know everyone here hates to hear this news. His presence around SI will be missed for sure. Thanks for letting us now.

I have no words. Bill has had a huge place in my life for over 20 years. If he leaves us, there will be a huge hole left.

I've spent a decade off and on here following Lindy and his posts -- his life in Hawaii and later his move back to California. This horrible news just hits too close to home. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

I’ve never cried so much for someone I never met, yet knew so much about. I’ll be Dancin in the streets for Dancin Bill

could you post the update about bill on qualcomm thread. it was there that some of us first met up. He used to attend the annual qualcomm meetings with several of the posters back then. together we made a lot of money and built relationships. There maybe a few still there. john this is hard to accept but he knew every trick in the book to extend his life comfortably.

I am going to miss him terribly, I hope his family is comforted in this difficult time. The world will be far less bright with him not in it.

For eighteen years Bill has provided a comprehensive forum that's been my go to site for political news and analysis. I've truly appreciated that. He's had a good run and if this is his end I hope that he gets away easily. Thank you LB.

Wow, not the news I was looking for checking the thread this morning. I have a good friend fighting a UTI. The damn things can be bigly problematic. My friend’s case has lead to other problems as well. No fun. Get well Lindy!

Sorry to hear this news. The little I know of him I knew he was extremely sharp and on top of things. He was very receptive and sensible, especially at that age. There's always hope, he ran a great board!

Sorry to learn of this. Bill and I had a rather detailed exchange on PMs just a couple months ago concerning our very similar prostate conditions ( prostRate condition, as it always was with Bill...lol). Mention of his having the UT infection fits right in with that condition. Praying for his comfort and freedom from pain or concern. Prayers for his family, as well.
