My very sincere condolence to all his family and friends, I will miss
him a lot despite I never had the pleasure to meet him.
Martin Davies, G0HDB:
That is truly unwelcome and most distressing news, Joe; I'm sure the vast amounts of time
and effort that Bill devoted to the development and support of WSJT-X will be very sorely
missed by everyone in the community, whether or not they had ever had any direct dealings
with Bill.

community.
In the early days of Bills involvement with WSJT he often logged into my Macs at home to test his software modifications on a Mac until he got a VM working. He and I had numerous discussions while testing new versions on various Mac OS. He was generous with his time in helping folks with problems either running the codes or attempting to build the software on various platforms. The multitude of emails to the development list is a tribute to his commitment to ensure that the various programs operated flawlessly.

His involvement with the development of WSJT-X code especially with modernising the structure of the whole program has been immense. I will certainly miss his advice.

I only knew Bill through his contributions to the WSJT lists. Those contributions were sharp, radical, and usually encouraging. He was a clearly essential part of a team that is helping Amateur Radio to grow, expand and develop, far beyond what you and I knew when, soldering iron in hand, we first played with radio, all those years ago.

We were also shocked and very sorry to hear of Bill's sudden passing. I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person. Like Bob, he attended the same University and read the same degree.
Charlie Suckling, G3WDG/DL3WDG:
We are so grateful for his contributions over many years to WSJT-X. His support for users was first class, and he even joined the EME reflectors to give support to EME users during the roll-out of Q65, despite not being active himself on EME. He was contributing there regularly, and some of his last efforts were to support the use of WSJT-X for Doppler control on CW on the microwave bands.

He was also a very patient and diligent teacher, tutoring and helping those who wished to make small contributions to the project. I am very grateful for the time he spent in such ways.

I had the pleasure of taking to Bill over Skype a few times during the development of 1.7 and later 1.8 to chase down some CAT control gremlins with several radios I happen to own. His patience and intelligence was incredible. Such a huge loss to us all.

He will definitely be missed but his contributions to the advancement of amateur radio will live on indefinitely.

I was shocked and saddened by the news of Bill's passing. We chatted on line quite often though we never met in person. He attended the same university as I didn't, reading the same subjects, but was a hear of two behind me, so we never met their either. Bill will be greatly missed and I send my condolences to his friends and family.

This is incredibly sad news. Bill was always so helpful, highly responsive, and on-target with deep technical solutions.
What a wonderful asset Bill was to the hobby and to all with whom he interfaced.
