" I hate to be the bearer of very sad news.
Late last night we received a phone call, which informed us that Bill Proctor had passed away on his property yesterday.

He will be sadly missed by many."

I just heard.... Holy Cow!!!!!

Bill is/was a bloody champion in many ways. The knowlege & know-how he takes with him is unreplaceable.

He will be sadly missed indeed.

Our deepest sympathies go to Bill's family at this sad time.

The passing of a really good bloke.  Sad news indeed.  You'd go a long way to find a nicer man than Bill.

 :OMG ......... :( I second all the above,
I had the opportunity to fish Bills big dam once and whilst I donuted, a visiting US angler with us scored a meduim sized Barra. Bill was most obliging and showed us around his ponds, explaining the process.
Will be sorely missed as a stocking supporter, resouce and a gentleman.

Yeah I'm pretty upset, great bloke Bill. Bernas was very ill just before christmas, being a few weeks in hospital. It will hit her very hard.

Just speaking with Beau, He said Kurt is heading down to help out for a week or so with any final orders left. Good onya Kurt.

this just sucks.

There will be a private cremation service for Bill.

I'm thinking for those wanting to send a tribute or card could send to their shop in Bundy.
