So sad, we'll all miss you mate. I'm sure there is a CB up there waiting for you.

Well, typical of Bill's organizational skills, he sets up near-perfect weather for his big send-off. A big crowd there to say goodbye.

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Sad to see such a font of knowledge gone - as well as a kind and decent man. Sympathies to his family at such a sad time.

RIP BILL MOORE.

I just learned of this sad news via John Kelcik this morning.
Bill was very helpful and informative when I first posed questions to him about the few CBs in the USA approimately ten years ago. He was always quick to reply, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable.
I even purchased a packet of CB info he had reproduced for those seeking more info on the uniquely Aussie VW.

I extend my deepest sympathies to his family and all his VW freiends and acquaintences.

Well done, Billl!
You will be missed......
