I've received email from Kitty Stoops this evening telling me that Bill, Kitty's husband passed away on August 14th.

Bill collected wooden nickels and was very, very involved with magic, belonging to several magic clubs and associations. Bill often attended the Tucson get togethers that Kitty organized for us Tucson collectors.

My condolences to Kitty for her loss. Bill will be missed.
