Thank you all for all the love and support! 

Billy and I grew close in the last 5 years and spoke often. This immediately was the red flag alerting me there was a problem.  Billy loved Sonar, the forums and contributing. It was his passion, his drive! 

Admitedly, I was hit hard by his passing and really havent spoken publicly about this topic . Just know that this man was one of a kind, a true gentleman and I have greatly appreciated every moment I spent with my good friend Billy. He will be greatly missed and I think about him on a daily basis. 

Thank you John and everyone that brought attention to Billys passing. I am too looking further into what I can also do for the family and possibly gather more information. Thank you all for this kind gesture.

Best Regards,

I've been away from the forum myself for several months, dealing with my own version of "musicians writer's block" and for the time being turning my efforts and interests to other aspects of my life.  

While still working through this "block" (I have this happen every several years and have to step away from music for long spans of time), I decided to check what was happening in the Cakewalk world and was saddened to see that Billy (BA Midi) had passed.  We are fortunate that his wisdom and knowledge will live on in those who experienced it first hand here on our forums and from personal interactions with him.  Knowledge shared is a lasting and welcome gift - Billy certainly exemplified this through his contributions.

While I'm too late to sign the letter, I wanted to make a quick post to add my condolences.

Without the support and cooperation of the entire forum I couldn't have done anything. 


Probably true John but it most likely wouldn't have gotten done at all had you not taken the time and effort.
You (and the others that went out of their way to see this through) should be very proud of this accomplishment...I know Billy's family will be proud and will most likely never forget how much Billy was appreciated by his friends and colleagues here in our little world (that is if 256 plus people is considered little)!


Thanks again my friend,
Randy

John, I know you said you don't want any particular notice for this, but thanks for doing all that you've done. Also, thanks for sharing your story. I'm sorry about the loss of the Lt.
