Re: Hospice Care
I have been out of pocket for a while (and will continue to be so), but like others have said ... there are no words to express the sorrow for our loss. As a man of faith, you are in good hands.
If I was 10 or 20 years younger, I would be all over this.
You will leave a legacy that will be impossible to match.
God speed brother ....

Re: Hospice Care
God bless you Bill. Will keep you in my prayers. You have had a wonderful impact on this forum and I just wanted to express my appreciation for all your wisdom. The new motor and reversing switch you put on my old '54 greeny have worked out perfectly. Think of you every time I run the jointer or the bandsaw. Peace be with you.

Re: Hospice Care
Mr. Bill, like the others, I am deeply saddened by this news, but you are in Good Hands, my friend. You have been very helpful to me and I thank you for all your support to me and to this forum. I will not repeat the words of others, but I truly share them. Blessings to you.

Re: Hospice Care
Oh, Bill. This is sad news. At least you can remain in the comfort of your own home for this time. 
Re: Hospice Care
Bill,
My deepest sympathies. Having recently gone through in-home hospice during my wife's passing your hospice team will be of tremendous support to you and your family. If there is anything you need to be comfortable just ask them and they will make it happen. True angles on earth.

Re: Hospice Care
God speed Bill. Time is precious - make the most of it. Hospice was comfortable for my mother - I hope it helps comfort both you and your family.

Bill. You made the world a MUCH better place while you are here and will make Heaven all the MUCH better when you get there! Their gain is our loss

Re: Hospice Care
This breaks my heart. I don't really have any words, but I wanted to say something. Bill, you were there for me with a lot of patience and advice for this newbie when I got my first 10ER several years back. Your help and advice helped bring it back to life as well as another 10ER and a Mark V. Through those machines, you are in almost every corner of my workshop. You have left a legacy that will continue for generations. Godspeed on the next leg of your journey.
