I regret to report that Bill Prodouz, Sr. has reached the clearing at the end of the path.

Bill Sr is the father of Bill Jr a/k/a Hardcore from Shore on S-B, passed away on Friday. Our thoughts and prayers go out for you Bill and for your family.

Some of you plug guys know Bill Sr. from Plugfest and other events as he made a splash here with some great plug building. An honorable and humble gentleman that we are all better for having known..

Godspeed, sir!

R.I.P. Bill......tight lines.

Sorry to hear it. Condolences to his family. Very sad to have to say goodbye to that generation. Our lives are infinitely better because of them.

Sorry to hear

After reading his obituary in the Brockton Enterprise I just had to copy this to share:

"In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Brockton VNA or Old Colony Hospice or as Bill would wish, you do something nice for someone."

I thought it was so special that in lieu of flowers he would just want a person to do something nice for someone.

My highest respect and deepest condolences.

Sad day for Bill an family.No such thing as bein ready to loose your dad.

Sending my condolences to Bill's family. It was great to see Bill at Plugfest this year and he was a great guy who loved to talk plugs and make stuff. He was cut from some very special cloth.
