Godspeed Bill. I was fortunate enough to know Bill for quite a while, and he was one of the toughest people I've ever known. He faced his battle with cancer head on , and never gave up. When he knew the end was coming he also faced that unflinchingly. He truly was brave in the face of the inevitable.
He kept us all in check here, and reined us in when it was needed. He was a friend you could count on when the chips were down, and he never met a stranger. He also gave us in open wheel racing a place to call home. It is also a place were we make friends worldwide. To a lot of us here it's our first stop in the morning and the last stop before bedtime. All I can say is I'll miss him , and thanks for what you did for all of us. To Mrs.G , and all of Bill's friends and family, you have my sympathy. Just know that those of us here will always remember him. As the old saying goes," We shall not see his like again". |

Bump, this needs to stay on top. I have no idea how long but out of respect for Bill I am bumping him back on top.

I only met Bill once, but I "knew" him well through this site. A prince of a guy. My thoughts are with the family.

Bill had become such a big part of our lives it should stay on top of our normal banter for quite some time to give even the very casual reader the sad news, and allow the regular posters more time to reflect on Bill's life. Bill Jones |

Bill was a amazing man! Inspired a lot of people in our racing world! I cannot come up with enough words to say at this point in time. RIP Bill, From each and everyone of us from Lawrenceburg Speedway!

Can't even begin to tell you how many conversations Bill and I had either private message or in person over the past few years, he was a rare person who truly "gets" it from all sides; fan, promoter, competitor, official and owner. There are few like him and he could serve as example to so many. I will miss our chats.
