It's too soon to start talking about the future of the site, at least for me. I prefer to focus on the loss of the man, and the ways in which Cooper managed to get him care. The outpouring of respect and love are profound. He made a mark.

You do him proud. Bless you. I'd rather be amazed by an unexpected recovery, but I am at least comforted to know you made sure he was cared for as best as possible. Nothing erases this sort of loss, but having done your utmost to ensure his care should be reassuring. He is and will be missed. You have done great things for him.

That's a great bit to share. Thank you.

I'm moved. When you lose someone you actually know, it's mixed emotionally. The loss stings more, but you also have deeper memories. I imagine you added a lot to his life.

I will indulge my own emotions for one emotional outburst: this f***ing sucks. This just sucks so bad.
 
The words and emotions of the people here say all you need to know about what kind of man Bill was. He spread warmth and humor and love, he made people laugh, he helped people love, he lifted people up, and made the world a little better than it was before. I hope that his spirit is somewhere, free of care and pain, and being part of the joy that he created. May he rest in peace and may the memories and bonds and connections he inspired be a beautiful legacy.
 
@Cooper, you created kindness, looking after him as he looked after others. Thank you.
 
In the next few days, perhaps each of us can find someone who needs a friend, who needs a kind word, who needs a shoulder, and do it, while saying silently "I do this kindness in Bill's name". A thousand acts of kindness radiating out in honor of him. And somewhere up there he'll look down and know that he inspired good.

Despite all the warnings and reasons for avoiding, I'd hop on him in a NY second if the chance arose. He's just that kind of sexy. If his brother is even hotter, whoa, those genes must be something else.
