[SkateDC] SkateDC Digest, Vol 63, Issue 6

[Chuck Opperman]

Hey DC,  i heard about the unfortunate event at Miami.  I didn't know Bill but my hearts go out to all those he left behind.  he sounds like he touched a great many of you.  at least his final moments were of joy and bliss and surrounded by his friends.   may we all be so fortunate.
