In the past, I have talked to Cathy a couple of times on FB messenger. I sent her a very detailed message last night of our intentions and how happy it made Bill before. She read it almost instantly and never responded to it or a follow message. So, at this point, it is safe to say she doesn’t want her father to receive it.

Bill is missed here.

That's just sad.

She may be dealing with higher priority issues related to bill.

She probably thinks we're a bunch of dumbass rednecks! Just my opinion.

He left here, so I would think he’s done with it and the members. I could be wrong but that’s what I got out of it.

Thinking so, wishing Ox the best

I now cannot unsee Janet Reno.

Ill bet she found Oxner's old post that had the son in law pics in it, she aint gonna let him back on here...

As I remember bill always kept his personal health a private matter. But he did share the pain of his wife’s cancer. I believe most of us were happy to listen and sympathize.

She's possibly reading this and I hope she understands that despite some light hearted ribbing some gave him that everyone on here only wishes him the very best. She should see that with his post count that he obviously enjoyed this forum. This was place gave him great pleasure. I hope she will give that back to him if he wants to interact on here again.

Y'all have no idea what she is dealing with at this point in time. Might want to respect his family and stop trying to force what you want upon them.

Have you talked to her or Bill personally lately?

What is she dealing with?

I think almost everyone on this board likes Bill and truly cares for him, He was pretty entertaining in general and seemed like an overall very nice gentleman.

Leave it be. Don't be intrusive. If "they" wanted y'all to know their personal stuff, "they" could've already been on her. Not everyone is comfortable with telling their own personal business, asking for prayer requests & such. Don't forget the word respect as in respect one's privacy. I get where they are coming from and it really doesn't matter that I do.

Did the daugther or son in law have an account on the THF?

I don't ever remember seeing them post and I have been a long time member here

Can you share that post or what is was about?

I don't recall that one.

That is really too bad

Bill lived for the THF and posting here, it was his happy place from what I could see. The THF was like his extended family

Maybe she was just tied up and will hopefully get back to you soon, I would be more than happy to donate for a care package for Bill as I am sure most all of us would.

Please keep us updated if you get any more news about the BBQ care package, I remember one time him posting about getting one from 407 BBQ from what I remember and how happy it made him.

Nothing wrong or disingenuous about sending someone in failing health a care package. We may have heard from Bill for the last time here, care package or not though. Bill was an institution when I first came here.

Let it go. He decided to leave for his or her reasons. It's none of our business...Adios Bill!

She should at least give us an update as to Bills health and wellness.

Everyone needs closure.

Erathar, your inbox is full.

Even if it's a care package wishing someone well, nobody on a message board has the right to demand interaction or updates with someone who doesn't want to (or is not capable of) engaging on here anymore.

Glad to see all of the love and concern for Bill now, if I remember right the Majority of folks on here gave Bill a hard time!

I agree with all of the comments below except for Buzz's.

Disagree Buzz. She should only do what she feels is in the best interest of her father, not us!

That is where I am lost in this puzzle.

I was out of the country from May thru August, I had very spotty internet service in the Philippines. Once I got back on here Bill was no longer here and no longer posting

Did he get in an arguement, or did he just disapper and stop posting?

I am not so sure he left of his own free will, and he may be not be allowed to post where he is staying, from what I remember his care takers are very liberal and probably not a fan of hunters, or men who stand when they urinate, I could be wrong but that is what I got from the few post Bill made about his daughter.
