bronicabillBill Rainey aka bronicabill has passed away
I don't really know how to post on here as I just got into Bill's computer. Bill loved reading post on SigForum and felt he had a real connection with this group and people all over the world. I just wanted to let you know that he passed away on April 9th of a massive heart attack.
