Haven’t been on the board in a bit, just became aware of Bill’s passing this morning. Condolences to Terry and his family, and to Jerry and the TG team.

Affectionately called "Uncle", and beloved by all T-Generates who knew him, Bill and I had a particularly close bond. He was a longtime friend and father figure in my life. He taught me more than anyone I’ve known in the last twenty years. Not just about horses, but more importantly about life. About how to be a selfless, caring, outgoing and empathetic human being.

I think of all the lives he so profoundly touched. I recall the countless times where he would come across complete strangers and within minutes it was as if they were all lifelong friends. That was the way Bill was.

We talked regularly for hours at end about our favorite shared subjects, everything from stocks and politics and cars, to food and our health, to his latest broodmare in foal, a dream he’d finally realized and begun pursuing that in recent years had given him immense pleasure and a renewed zest for life.

Missing him already, the world feels that much emptier without him. There will never be another like him. Not in this world. Not in a billion galaxies.

Blessed to have had you in my life Wild Bill. Rest easy my friend.
