It is with deep regret that I must post this message.

Bill O'Day has passed away yesterday of unknown complications. The doctors never did find out what was wrong with him although at the end he had no kidney functions (he was on dialysis) but that was not by any means all that was wrong.

He was so happy to read all the get well messages from all who posted them and it did perk him up.

I met Bill only 5 years ago when I moved up here to the Capital area and we immediately hit it off. He was definately my best friend and as close as any brothers might be.

He left a wife of 49 years, 2 married daughters and me. We had so many things in common. Chip collecting, poker buddies, traveling companions. We were both in the same economic status and trusted each other $110%. I truly lost a good friend.

In a round about way, I want to thank Greg Susong (for the Chipboard) and the CC & GTCC for the medium which we both used which got us together in the first place. And yes, you too Archie, for convincing me to join.
