That really is a bummer. We shared some real laughs on here. One of the good guys I know I'd have hit it off with in 'real' life.

Sad news indeed! RIP Billy!

Yes,   RIP!

Someone needs to write "The Ballad of Billy Arnell".  I hated hearing when Sonar was not working for him,  he seemed like an honest guy.  I liked his voice and often wish I had him sing a song of mine.

Oh my.
 
I'll never forget the "Troll" that Billy picked up in the old Coffee House (it was torn down 7 years ago.) This guy was relentless in his pursuit of Billy whenever he posted.  It drove Billy away for a good while, and began the ruin of the CH.
He was always helpful even then.
RIP Billy.

Wow, Billy was one of the best. Truly a sad day.

RIP Billy

Hold on... I'm sending an email to Lera Loeb... I'll see if I get a response.

Keith, just curious...did you happen to share Billy's site with Lera to see if it in fact is the correct Billy? Someone may see his pic there and say "oh no, that's not the same guy" ya know? I appreciate all the work you and others have done. I guess I'm just holding on here a little more because there's so much we DON'T know about it. I keep hoping to sign on to this thread and see Billy posted laughing about it and saying "no guys, I'm here and all is well!" Wishful thinking I know. The guy was awesome to me and helped me with Sonar issues for many years. If it really is him, thanks for everything Billy I definitely will miss you brother. :(

Thank you Keith. Billy will be missed for sure.  Sad news, indeed.

billy was a great guy,he was a classy guy,a gentlmen.
when he took a break from around here because he was getting a little tired of some responces he simply left a thread saying.

im going to a break for bit.

good guy,miss him already.

Well, it does tell us that one Billy Arnell passed away.  But are we sure it's our Billy? 

The man who collaborated w/ Loeb was in his early 20s in the mid-70s.  Meaning he'd be 50 something now. Maybe I have it all wrong, but I imagined Billy a bit younger. I don't know, I'm hesitant to say my goodbyes to our friend before we know for sure.
