He had a heart attack while workin . i was talkin to a couple of friends of his about the old 440a he completly rebuilt. he was proud of that old skidder, it was his back -up. he had a 540D that for a main machine.

RIP Bill they sure don't make them like that anymore. The worst part is his wife passed a few months before him, hospice and the bank took his farm to cover the cost of her care, wonder how people who take peoples homes sleep at night. I always enjoyed seeing Bill and he always followed you out of job to make sure you made it out safe.

The guy just lost his wife, then they take the only thing you have left, all your memorizes.
Died from a broken heart, sad :(

New here but I felt compelled to comment.. Sucks when some one works hard, is a good soul ,loses a loved one and the bank/hospital comes and takes their farm/home. Nothing like kicking someone when they are down..People just don't give a *DanG about others anymore...

Welcome to the Forestry Forum joedodge

It does seem unfair, but then whose money should be used to care for someone, as in this case?

I was just giving a little back story on Bill didn't intend to offend anyone just thought it was a sad ending to a good man's life. Don't think Bill expected anyone to pay his debts for him, guess it's good he passed away so they can take whatever else he might have owned.
