Bill passed away unexpectedly this afternoon while recovering from successful back surgery.
He was 77 years of age and a true renaissance man.
He had the right stuff, and was the master of many things,
and a master teacher who shared his knowledge freely when asked,
though few mere mortals will ever rise to the level of his capabilities.

Condolences to his Wife whom he dearly loved.

Bill Bagwell will be sorely missed by many.

Over the previous week, some images of Bill's accomplishments, including snapshots from two videos of African Safari with BPCR,
were posted as hero worship by me, not meant as elegy until the unexpected now.
Bill gave his permission for me to do that, while he was laid up in the hospital after the back surgery.
I hoped it might cheer him up while he was rehabbing post-op.
The salute to Bill Bagwell is at latter part of page 10 through page 14 of this thread:
