Couldn’t post this last night when I first saw it. I was too heartbroken to have lost one of my best cyber friends, Bill Hamilton. We met on line and shared a friendship on the phone weekly. I just spoke with him a couple of days ago. There was a lot of laughter but that was Bill, always positive and loving. My heart is with his family. My heart is heavy. I will miss you dear friend. I love you. RIP.
Good night dear man.
The air is fresh
Your free
To breathe.
Sing. Laugh.
Fly.
Go!
With the wind.
On the wind.
Breathe!!!
Dear Beautiful Man!
Breathe Free.
Eternally.
Good Night from here Dear Man.
Forever, you are free.
❤

Thank you.
I am so sorry for your loss Paultte
Thank you.
I am sorry for your loss. My condolences to his family. As the poem says, he is now free to breathe. May he rest in peace.
Yes, may he rest in peace and breathe freely. Thank you.
I did not know Bill long, nor well, but he had a soft-spoken way about him, and he bestowed kindness to everyone he came in contact with. R.I.P. Mr. Bill.
Thank you, Tess.
Yes, he was kindness personified. And a down to earth realistic positive man. I was lucky to have found him and had our friendship go beyond wordpress. He helped me with my own chronic illness issues and was always so supportive. His death was a shock.
I heard when he went into the hospital but I would never have thought this would happen. ❤
I know, Tess. It was a shock. Despite his condition, he was so full of life and laughter.
Thank you for this beautiful video. Going to get some tissues. Love to you and hope you’re okay.
Sincere condolences to his family and you my friend…
Thank you, JJ. I’m sure somehow his family will feel all the love being sent their way. Bill was a very special man. Like you.
So sorry to hear of Bill’s passing Paulette, I feel your pain and I love the poem.
My hubby has COPD too, it’s such a cruel disease, and my heart goes out to his family.
Thank you so much, Barb. I hope your husband is okay and has many good years ahead.
Still stunned today Paulette. I “knew” this would happen but truly did NOT see it happening any time soon. He was kindness behind a Santa Face.
Me too. I can’t stop thinking of him. I can’t tell you how many times he relayed your visit with him to me over the phone. He was lit up by it and it meant so much to him. And to me too, that you did this. When you first posted it I cried, at your kindness and the sweetness of it all. It takes the sting out of the shock today that this beautiful memory was so recent. I’m really going to miss so much about him popping up in our cyber community and our phone calls.
Thank you Paulette. He was EXTREMELY generous with kindness and affection. He and his wife were equally sweet and wonderful. The only thing we did that day that he didn’t, was fly. David and I loved that trip. Shock is still lingering. It’s wonderful, though, the wide spread affection and sorrow at his passing. He would NOT believe it. Which makes me smile.
You know him well and it’s true his humbled self would not believe it. Made him all that more endearing. With you on the shock still lingering. I love you, Colleen.
I am so sorry to hear this.

Thank you.
I have only just seen Allison’s post and feel terribly shocked. This is a beautiful post about Bill . Thank you Paulette.
I know how close you were with Bill, Jules. When he sent e-mail to a few of his cyber friends I always saw he included you. It was a shock, hard to imagine he’s gone.
I think of his family and friends.I will wish them a lot friends who helps them to survive now they lost him.
Thank you. I’m sure they will feel all the love coming to them directly and indirectly. Bill was a very special man who adored his family.
Such a shame and such a loss. My sympathies to to his wife/family and to all the folks whose lives were made better for having known him.
Thank you, Yvonne. He was a wonderful man who wrote his blog so his grandchild would have a chance to know when he passed. The rest of us finding, reading, and getting to know him couldn’t help loving him.
Oh, my dear friend. I just found out today that our wonderful Bill moved ahead of us. I cherish his posts and comments. He inspired us all to embrace the abundance of our lives, our family and friends. And he reminded me to build joyful memories for those who come after…
I grieve for his passing, but rejoice that I knew him…
Yes, he did, Rebecca. Sharing the grief and rejoicing with you, my friend. ❤
Hugs coming across the blogger miles.

I am so sorry for your loss… ❤
Very kind of you to stop by and say this. Our hearts sure do know pain. Sending love to yours.
Sorry for your loss, Sweetie. XXXOOO
Thanks, Lorna. He was a really good guy.
Sure does sound like he was.
Although I didn’t know him, my heart is heavy.
You would have liked him, Sage. He was a salt of the earth good man who loved to enjoy and laugh. And he would have really loved you, like I do. ❤
I’ve only just seen this sad news. I shall miss him.
It still makes me sad to think I won’t be seeing him pop up over the cyber horizon. He was one gem of a human being.
His visits always made me smile.
Me too, clowie.
RIP Bill…my deepest condolences to his wife and family.

Thank you very much. I’m sure somehow his family will feel all the love that has poured in over the world from his passing.
I’m very sad, too. He touched so many people’s lives, in a dear and special way. He even put Pearl Jam on his Juke Box – and you know what a thrill that gave me – that he even knew about them. Really an amazing man and a huge loss for us all. We are better people for knowing him. Hearts and thoughts to all who miss Bill.
I still think of him daily, every time I cruise through blog posts and when the phone rings in the afternoon, the time he used to phone me. I so agree with you that our lives are richer from having known this beautiful man. Still can’t believe he’s not going to pop up and post a comment with a big LOL. A special hug to you.
Very sad news. Condolences to his family and all his friends.
I’m sure they will feel the love from you and others in our compassionate cyber community. Thank you.
