With deepest sympathies...

parsleigh, Dave Locke, and so many, many more friends and fans.
It's too beautiful a day to learn that Bill Bowers died last night. Way too beautiful. The beauty is still there, of course; it's just wrong. There's rain in my heart. Rain, soft and regretful and sad.
I wish...so many things. Most of all, that Bill had been able to live the last 15 years of his life without being disabled by profound health problems. That his last 15 years were still a thing of the future. The distant future. I wish romance had served him better, too.
He was kind. He was always glad to see me. And I him. We were never close, but he was a pillar of my community, and our roof is weakened by our loss. It's letting the rain through. Soft and regretful and sad.
