Well goodness, that is bad news to hear. I never got a chance to work one-on-one with Bill, but always enjoyed seeing him atconferences. I'm glad to hear that you got to work with him for awhile and had a great experience with it. I'm sure that meantsomething to him too.

R:Base List - A few years ago you may remember that I was looking for an R:Base developer to help with a large project. Several of you responded, for which I am grateful. We (client and I) chose to have Bill Eyring help develop our new order processing database. Our division of labor just sort of fell into place - Bill in New York handled receiving and sending the data via EDI and the shipping end of the order processing. From Wisconsin, I did the front end processing of the data, order preparation and building the output files. Over the course of many phone calls, Bill and I commiserated in our frustrations, rejoiced in our progress, solved world problems and ultimately developed a working system. A large part of the success is due to our client's guidance and patience. With great sadness, I'm writing on behalf of Bill's wife JoAnn to say Bill passed away several weeks ago due to complications from the corona virus. This leaves another void in the R:Base community that is needing to be filled. Prudent business practice is to have a backup, an issue for subsequent posts.
