I just checked in on him/her, and it looks as though Bill is watching over the little one I will show pics when I see that baby Billy has made it through the first 3 or 4 days

Keep watching over the little one Bill,

Great to hear Janine - how wonderful!

How sweet. What a nice dedication and memorial for Bill. Look forward to pics.

So completely shocked to hear this news. Bill was a great member of this forum, always positive and the first to congratulate anyone or welcome newcomers. There will be a hole in place of where his posts usually reside. RIP Bill.

I'd like to give Bill's family my condolences too and I know Bill will live on in everyone's hearts. He was well loved here in this forum.

i just saw this post about Bill and i know how he felt hearing the worst news you can get !! ....

have a great last flight Bill , we won't forget you

The picture is not the best so sorry
But, these parents were sitting on their last clutch. I went to check on the eggs on day 13 and noticed that nothing had hatched...but...there had been eggs added after the fact. Sneaky little things.
They are finally raising their own, and this morning I even heard the little ones peeping. So in honour of such a beautiful person, one will be named Billie, and the other Bcamp

Thank you so very much Bill for keeping such a wonderful eye on these 2 little ones

what a shock I haven't been on for quite a while and just came on to read this. My deepest symphathy to his family. I'm so sorry to hear this

I miss how he always encouraged new members to fill out their location in their profile.

That was the very first thing that I had thought of as well.
We will all have to share in his duties, and make sure that all of the new members receive this message.

I too thought of that and agree we should all encourage/remind newcomers of this great source of finch information.

It will be a group mission to carry on his work!!!!!! We can all do the honors, Bill would like that!

I was thinking the same thing.

Rest in Peace my friend.

I just saw the news on the facebook page last night. Just now seeing this thread. I barely knew Bill except for a few posts on this forum, but he seemed like such a nice person. Reading these posts in his memory got me all teared up. He obviously made a positive impact on many people. I think it's wonderful that some new baby birdies have been named in his honor.

May he rest in peace.

He passed only a week after I joined. I do not remember seeing much postings from him, RIP Bill I wish I.could have learned from him, but I am glad many others have, I will pray for his family
