I’m sorry to report the death of iLind.net reader and regular correspondent, Bill Fuller.

I would hear from Bill every couple of months concerning this or that issue, usually a clarification, a reference to a missed detail, or maybe just a much appreciated aside.

Thanks to the Hawaii Macintosh and Apple Users Society (HMAUS) for this brief bio:

Bill was a serious mid-westerner, a Yale graduate, with an MBA from Stanford. He moved to Hawaii in 1968 with his wife Susan and went to work for Crown Corporation. Eventually, he became the company president. Later, Bill moved on to Tongg Publishing, and he became president there too. Bill was more than qualified to serve HMAUS for the many years that he did.

Bill was also an avid reader, a lifelong scholar, spending countless hours scouring the public libraries and of course, exploring the Internet. His deep interest in research and information lead him to thoroughly enjoy the things he learned as well as the scores of friends he made through HMAUS.

Memorial services will be at Diamond Head Memorial Park — Thursday, August 6 2009; Viewing from 4:30 PM; Service at 5:30 PM; No flowers; Casual Attire.

The last communication I had from Bill was back in April. He wrote:

Someone with NINE cats and a blog surely needs to include a link to these commentaries on felinity — for pleasure, if not for new information …

I returned to that link today in memory of Bill. It was a great pleasure.
