Here is a link to a collection of pictures that I've taken of Bill while we were on assignment for the Kalamazoo Gazette. Click the link below the image of William R. Wood that he called "Silly Billy."

William R. Wood 1957-2012

William R. Wood passed away peacefully at home early this morning, June 26, 2012. He was with his wife, Linda S. Mah, who says she will let his many friends know about plans for a service as soon as they're made. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill's family.

As soon as details are available, we'll post them both here on Bill's "Riffs on the Good Life" and on his "Bill Wood" Facebook page.

Please feel free to post comments about Bill on this blog and on Facebook.
