For many years he was “KnightOwl or just Owly” to many of us on the Zone. I learned to host with Bill who had the patience of a saint. When I took over Lords and Ladies Hearts it was Bill I called upon to make sure we put forth a quality gaming experience.
He was a wonderful man and a great man to have a good time with. The owl and the pussycat they used to call us..I am so going to miss him.

I figured something had happened. Finally figured out what. What cougar said except you were also willing to play pards to help us keep going too. Miss you iowa.
He was a great Hearts friend. Many happy memories of his youthful banter.
