I wonder why I hae not seen any thing about Bill West dying. I just read Bobbe Seymoure's newsletter and he told of some guy in England calling him and said that Bill had died of cancer a couple of months ago. I have been searching for some word of Bill for several years now with no luck. I went all through school with Bill and we grew up together. Any one know any thing about it? Thanks.

Tim, thank you very much. I am so sorry to learn of Bill's death. The lastt timeI was him was in 1986 when we had our high school reunion. The picture in the obituary did not look anything like him. I have checked with everybody I know to find out how to get hold of hum, now I see whay I was unsucessful. We went all the way thru school, until graduation from Hume Fogg High in 1951. Again, I thank you so much.

When we use to talk, he would never call her name. He would always refer to her as "what's her name". Her name rarely came up. His was the first real electric steel guitar I played, a Vega, best I remember. That was in Junior High School.

It's pretty much up to the family how much,or even if,an ex-spouse is mentioned in an obituary.
