Status: offline 		Real sorry to hear this, worked with Bill way back with SPWAW, when it was still Steel Lightning, a mod by a fellow last name Grasse. Bill gave me my call sign, Warhorse. I remember him stating one day, "Mike is a workhorse, no, a Warhorse", so I took the name. RIP buddy.

Status: offline 		I never met Bill, but I saw his name on quite a few scenarios and campaigns from various computer war games and even a couple of board war games. Reading his bio I was slightly shocked that he never served in the USMC, for some reason I always envisioned him as a Marine. I was quite pleased to hear he was a Missionary. I know based on what I read from his bio he is walking with the Lord in Heaven now, God bless and comfort his family.

Status: offline 		I just wanted to repost the comment I wrote at The Depot in regards to the passing of Bill Wilder:

I had the honour of communicating with Bill both publicly on the boards at Matrix & The Depot as well as privately through PM's and emails. Simply put, he was one of the nicest, classiest and warm human beings I have ever had the pleasure to know even though I never met him.
He also nurtured and encouraged many of the folks who created scenarios & campaigns. I know that especially "M4"Jess was such a person.

We all loved Bill and I am heartbroken that he is gone. His legacy both as a scenario designer and even more, as a person, will live on in all of us forever.

Rest in Peace, Colonel!

Know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers Wild Bill. A community mourns a legend.

RIP Wild Bill, the Director.
RIP Wild Bill, Band of Brothers.

The Resurrection

You may ask me how I know my Lord is real (my Lord is real)
You may doubt the things I say and doubt the way I feel (the way I feel)
But I know He's real today, He'll always be (He'll always be)
I can feel His hand in mine and that's enough for me
I will never walk alone, He holds my hand (He holds my hand)
He will guide each step I take
And if I fall I know He'll understand
Till the day He tells me why He loves me so (He loves me so)
I can feel His hand in mine
That's all I need to know
I will never walk alone, He holds my hand (He holds my hand)
He will guide each step I take
And if I fall I know He'll understand
Till the day He tells me why He loves me so (He loves me so)
I can feel His hand in mine
That's all I need to know
I can feel His hand in mine
That's all I need to know
I can feel His hand in mine
That's all I need to know
