Default Bill Hedin...

I know Bill has a lot of friends on this board, and if you don't already know, Bill is in a bad way. He has been battling cancer for a long time and this past weekend was extremely bad for him. He may be very near the end. I was hoping that this could be a thread to serve two purposes. First, to get the word out to pray for Bill and his family. Secondly, if you know Bill, please respond with a nice thought or a few words to lift him up in case he can get back on line soon to read the thread.

If you don't know Bill, he has been a maverick in the hobby. In his day he ran over 10,000 card shows from 1977 to 2008 when he got sick. He is an amazing man and a better person you will not find!

Thanks in advance for any prayers offered.

Cancer has touched many people close to me, and I know the hard times Bill must be going through.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Bill and his family in these hard times.

I got to know Bill a bit through his card shows in the Boston area, and was happy to reconnect on here. Bill is a great guy and I will keep him in my prayers.
