Classmates, I regret to report to you that Bill Wix died this morning, after a battle of a year and a half with cancer that started as lung cancer. He was with Rebecca and the children at his death in Memphis, TN. Very preliminarily, services at WP might be on Friday, Nov. 5th. Subject to the family's wishes in the matter, I will post arrangements as they become final. Should you need it, my better email address is dwheeler@whi-inc.com.

Hello to all of Bill's classmates:

Thanks to each and every one of you for your thoughts, prayers and concerns over the past 14 months as Bill has been dealing with his lung cancer. He went to the Father peacefully Sunday morning at 9:35. He fought a valiant fight, and as I told him last week, he really DID win the fight, because he's not hurting at all any more.

Again, thanks to all of you for your support to both Bill and me during this most trying time in our lives. He was loved by so many people, and that has helped us tremendously through it.

We love you,
Rebecca
