Just adding my condolences to Bill's family & friends. I had the great pleasure of meeting Bill on several occasions back in the late 70's and early 80's whenever Bill would come home to catch up with his elderly mother in his home town of Shannon on the south western coast of the North Island, N.Z. Bill moved to Australia at the ripe old age of 27!
In the photo attached Bill was visiting our little roll-off roof we operated back in April 1981. I'm on the left, Bill centre, and my good mate Noel Munford on the right. I remember a very droll sense of humour and an amazing amount of knowledge regarding anything to do with observing.
All who knew him will miss him for sure. Those dirty snowballs are freer to roam the firmaments now that the best hunter has passed on.
Cheers, Coops.
