I knew Bill/BigFootHunter well, having served as one of his tour guides for 3 summers, and will miss him greatly. I considered him a mentor and a friend, as well as a nice guy to work with. It was troubling to see his ongoing battles with a number of health issues, which took a sharp turn for the worse last summer. I had hoped for his return to BC this year, but that was unfortunately not to be.
In addition to the Sasquatch research referred to in the above posts, Bill was also a pretty accomplished guitar player and singer, and knowledgeable in several fields that his quest for the truth about this cryptid led him into. His passion for the subject was unbounded.
The village of Harrison Hot Springs, and his circle of friends here will be a lesser world without him.
