This breaks my heart. One of the nicest posters with whom I ever interacted.

Prayers to his family and friends. :(

[Lott's Bandana]

Just a really sad day.

Thanks for letting us know, Vet.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

AlbqSoonerOh I hate that. He always sent me happy birthday messages even when I didn't post here much.

[8timechamps]

Didn't know AlbqSooner personally, but know he was a valued member of the boards. Very sad news, and I know he isn't in pain now. Prayers for friends and family (including you Vet).

Gonna Miss talkin to him

[Scott D]

Terrible news, Bill was one of the few honest and level headed men out there. He will definitely be missed.

[yermom]

Damn.

He wasn't very old, was he? What happened?

[olevetonahill]

Damn.

He wasn't very old, was he? What happened?

He just turned 63
He was supposed to have had Colon surgery last spring , But he had had an Arterial transplant in his Leg and when he went in for the Colon surgery his Leg went haywire , Had to fight to save his leg so that surgery was put off

He went in on the 12th for the Colon surgery, Had that the 13th, was responding well Last Sat when I talked to him , then Tuesday Nite he was going down hill they had to go back in .. Left him open because they didnt want to take a chance on having to open him up again
He died from complications

[yermom]

he was older than i thought, i guess.

still, this sucks. at least he had family with him :(

[Midtowner]

My condolences.

[Peach Fuzz]

T's n P's. I remember lurking back in 04/05 and loving his stories about anything he wanted to talk about. Very sad.

[reflector]

Sorry for your loss.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Just unreal.. A great guy with a lot of
great stories.. A great heart for giving and become friends instantly the first time we met..the messages, phone calls, the shirts he gave us...

I'm gonna go find a quiet place for a while..

Thats what I did Bro
Put on my latest Ho-Down shirt and went for a drive

[Blue]

I always enjoyed his comments on religion threads and discussing that in pms. He didn't judge folks and he knew where he was going. RIP AlbqSooner.

[I Am Right]

Sorry, griefs a stone cold bitch

Same here. I had to have some alone time today to reflect on losing such a good friend. For no more than I was around him, he really left an impression in my life. I have never met a more caring individual. He loved life, family and his Sooner friends. He will be greatly missed. Rest well, Brother.

[SCOUT]

I am sorry to hear that he has passed away. He sounds like he was an amazing person.

Any way to make that an honorary avatar? I'm not real computer savvy.

[AlboSooner]

Good poster and a believer. Will see him again one day.

[Collier11]

Bill was truly a good dude, got to hang out at Vets place with him twice as well as a few tailgates. He had stories for the ages, the guy lived life and then lived a better one. He was always soft spoken but you listened, very kind and funny. God Bless friend

[Fraggle145]

:(

Sorry to hear this. It sucks.

[delhalew]

:( I had hoped to meet him. Clearly, one hell of a good guy. Sorry Vet, and the rest of you who got to really know him.

[Chuck Bao]

I’m terribly saddened by this news. The world lost a great guy today.

AlbqSooner made friends, whether in person or on an anonymous message board, because that was in his character. I feel lucky to have met him here at SF.

Like others have mentioned, he always had words of advice and encouragement without judgment. You could tell that he had been there and done that, while still maintaining a wry sense of humor about all his own little (and big) mishaps.

I finally got to meet him at one of the SF tailgates this year and see for myself that mischievous grin (yep, been there and done that) which exactly matched his message board personae. He was one of a kind.

AlbqSooner, you will be sorely missed.

This is my brother, me and AlbqSooner at the SF Mizzou tailgate.

[SCOUT]

Thanks for the pic Chuck. You can even see that wry smile you describe in this one picture.

[soonerloyal]

As I stand on the mountaintop, as the great bird approaches. She is small in my sight, but grows larger on approach until I am blessed with the full sight of her graceful wings, proud countenance and good company. All too quickly, she grows small again on the horizon and disappears from view. And I call out, "Look, there. She's gone."

But there are other mountaintops beyond me. And at the precise moment when I note the great bird's departure form my view, I know there are new eyes taking up the sight of her. And fresh voices calling out, "Here she comes!"

With you in spirit and love, prayers continual and fervent. Much love to Vet in this time of grief, and a salute to his great friend and Brother AlbqSooner. Until we all meet again, dear Sir.

[C&CDean]

I finally met Bill this year at a tailgate. We spent quite a bit of time talking and exchanging life experiences. Rock solid dude who had moved way beyond the silliness and petty behaviors most of us continue to display.

He gave momma several bags of Hatch chiles and sent her the most awesome recipe for chicken enchiladas ever. I was driving in from Mississippi last night and she asked what I wanted for supper. "Bill's enchiladas" is all I said. They were extra delicious. Thanks Bill.

RIP brother. You've earned your final reward in heaven.

Id like ya to get me that Recipe Bro

By the way Bill has requested NO Funeral nor a Memorial
He simply wanted to be Cremated and then have his brother go camping and scatter his ashes in a Camp fire

Seems during his Drankin days he would get drunk and stumble and fall into bout near ever campfire he was ever around

He was a Good Man

RIP brother. You've earned your final reward in heaven.I'd like that recipe too. What a neat guy. I didn't get to meet him this year (or Chuck).

Are we going to do some kind of a donation?

[C&CDean]

When I get back home I'll post it. At first glance I went "wtf?". Flour tortillas? Chili powder? It rocks. Momma had a recipe that she hasn't used once since trying Bill's.

I think I'll rename them "Bill's Heavenly Enchiladas.".

[C&CDean]

[olevetonahill]

I'll check Howie.

Thanks Bro
I have a camera But never carry it nor use it

[sooner59]

I was fortunate to get to spend some time with Bill at Vet's the past couple of years. Just a great guy. I had a good conversation with him riding to town once to get another case of Dr. Pepper. He had some great stories and some great advice. He turned me on to Hatch green chiles as well. Its sad to not have him around anymore, but he is in a better place now.

[C&CDean]

No pics from the tailgate Bill was at. Bummer. If anyone else has some please post them.

Ingredients:

-1 Can of Cream of Chicken soup (or celery)

-1/2 cup of sour cream

-2 TBS butter

-8 flour tortillas

-1 cup of shredded cheese

Directions:

-Pre-heat oven to 375

-Stir soup and sour cream together until smooth - set aside

Variation: Momma puts a little cheese inside each enchilada too. If you can, use a little Asadero cheese.

Just finished the leftovers for lunch today. Thanks again Bill.

[Wishboned]

Terrible news.

I didn't know him, other than the board. But reading the impact he had on those who did meet him, then it's obvious he was a special person.

[StoopTroup]

It's taken me some time to respond about the loss of this great friend. I met Bill at Vet's 1st HoDown and Bill and I have attended everyone since. Next year's will be difficult. I already miss him. I know I have to have some pics of him somewhere. I will begin looking through them after Christmas.

Dean, thanks for the recipe. I had been talking with Bill and before he got sick he was gonna send me some of those chilies. The Wife and I are going to make a batch of the enchiladas in his and my Mom's Honor. I lost my Mom on Christmas Day in 2009 and I am at herHouse right now celebrating Christmas with my Entire Family. She is missed but here in spirit.

I miss Bill but I know he is in God's Loving Care now.

I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas and that you all get the G.I.Joe with the Kung Fu Grip.

Greg

[FirstandGoal]

Never met Bill in person, but we had some great conversations over the last couple of years. I'm gonna miss him and his wonderful advice on just about anything.
One of the last PM's I sent him was "thanks" and telling him how wonderful it was to know him and how I love how being Sooner fans brought us together, but how love and friendship kept us all in touch. I'm saddened by the knowledge that I'll never open up my in-box again and find a message from Bill.

Enchiladas Tonight.

Rest in Peace Bill

Greg and the Family

We love ya Brother

[booomer]

For some reason I thought he was really young, too. I think maybe I am getting him confused with another poster or something. I'm sad to hear of his passing. :(

[StoopTroup]

Bill was young at heart but wise in years....

[oudavid1]

He was very nice to me, didnt know me, didnt have to be. He was. As always, it meant a lot. Been watching these threads, just didnt want to post. Goodbye friend. God Bless.

David, Why hesitate to say that some one treated you right?
Bill loved to argue with out being a Prick about it .

Believe it or not Vet, I keep a lot to myself. I do share it with the man upstairs though.

[olevetonahill]

Thats Cool

[btk108]

That is a great picture of Bill with his classic expression on his face. I'm going to miss him. He was a green chile afficiando and I shared that fondness with him. He stood with me at the grill during the Ho Down this year and told me the exact moment to put the chile on each hamburger patty.

[KantoSooner]

Wow, I turn my back for a day or two away from the keyboard and this happens. I'll go put a memory of him in the persimmon tree on my back slope. It's what I do when someone worth remembering departs. Unfortunately, it's got more than a couple memories in it already, but he'll be in good company.

[OUDoc]

I'm sorry to hear this. Bill was a quality person, he will be missed. :(

[Sooner24]

I hate to hear this. I always enjoyed his postings. Prayers to his family.

[StoopTroup]

We finished off the enchiladas last night. They were very similar to the flour ones my Mom used to make. Awesome. The Wife made fresh pico to go with them and we had some salsa and chips.

I will always remember my Mom and Bill when we have them.

Good memories, good food

[proud gonzo]

Just saw this :(

RIP, man

[olevetonahill]

Just got to where I could make the Enchiladas

Thanks Bill
