Me too. I'll be glad to my dying day that I sent him those shower shoes that he said eased his pain so dramatically. I also think that all of us here helped make his final years less lonely. I guess it was just as well that he never learned Braille. (I and others badgered him about it more than once.) But as it turned out, he didn't live all that long after his eyesight got too bad to use a computer. Beautiful tributes. Sure would like to know who you all are speaking about.

Bill Hunt, on here as wwh, Luke. He died at age what--88 or so. (Someone who remembers for sure feel free to correct me.) He lived with a daughter who worked full-time; but even when she was there, communication was very limited: he was all but deaf. A lot of people here called him Dr. Bill. He'd been in the Navy and was a retied physician.

I think most who were around here then would characterize Dr Bill as a lovable old curmudgeon.

One of my favorites of his stories involved his method of cleaning his baby's behind during a diaper change: he put the backside under a running faucet of warm water. I never asked him which sink he was using ...

That's novel, never heard that before. Don't want to know
which sink, however. Maybe bathtub.
