A sad end to the day. RIP Bill.
He was a real easy guy to talk to.

Maggie, As you see all here are saddened to hear of your dad's passing, but you also should see that your dad and uncle Bob were our heroes, they were the guys that got so many of us interested in this sport.  They showed everyone that hot rodders could go really fast. 
They will remain forever in our minds and our history.

Prayers to all the family.  I talked to Bill several times and he was always easy to talk to very nice guy for sure.  RIP

Here is an image that Bret Kepner did this past February.

Bill and Bob will always be linked to this fantastic car.

Now when the reunite they can continue to share their success together.

The car is in a marvelous resting place, The Ford Museum, and so are they.

They were way ahead of their time with the car and they also passed way to soon.
