Another silent key

[Stephen Dawes]

I too have fond memories of Bill. Although we never met in person, we had
long chats about the phone system, ham radio, and of course Linux. 

I hope a collection of all the messages remembering Bill can be pulled
together and forwarded on to his Wife. 

You will be missed in all the different ways you have touched this
communities lives.

73 Bill, VE6 AYT

Writing to let people know that a long time friend and contributor Bill
Acker wb2flw passed away last evening.

Bill was responsible for putting our first Redhat and fedora speakup enabled
distributions together. In more recent years he maintained the server where
we shared dns services and provided mail and mail backup for many members of
the community.

He was an avid ham and phone freak and maintained a freeswitch which many
people using voip still use.

I am going to miss him very much. I'm sure others here will as well. He died
of complications to his prostate cancer which he's been fighting for the
past couple years.

73s Bill. It's been a good journey.

   Kirk
