I just received word from a mutual friend .. For those who remember Postrider (Posty) from Mauves. I just received word that he died last Tuesday. He was always fun to play with on the boards.

[> More Info -- (a cut and paste) -- Spud, 01:59:00 09/28/11 Wed

I got a message from Bill Blumberg's wife on Tuesday that he had died. No other info available but it seems to have been unexpected. I have tried unsuccessfully to contact Shelly so the only link I have is to the funeral home. (http://www.herrfuneral.com/?pagetype=memlist) His funeral is on Saturday. I'll miss Bill - he was one of the first people I met at Sewanee and from that time on I knew he was a "friend for life". People were too important to Bill to just let them drift away. He was committed to his friends in a genuine way that made me feel privileged to know him. And there was not another Iota Nu brother who more embodied those ideals of faith and fraternity. Condolences can be placed on the Herr Funeral home website.

[> [> I'm a lurker on this board and I want to say I always liked his messages, I understood how he was a figure of this board. And I agree, with you when you say than he was a " friend for life ", it's how I felt it for you all posters of this board. I'm sad for his family and friends. -- Laurence, 03:59:09 09/28/11 Wed

[> [> Part of me still hopes Bill will post a message at any time now and say this was all a big, bad taste joke and jump into a diatribe with those 19-letter words, as Jan liked to say. Or just joke that the only thing he'd lost so far had been his *hair*!.......................... Bill's wife, Shelley, left a message on the funeral home's page.

As one of the original JAGged Pack, My heart will never forget this man....He was a Gentle Man...Funny...Opinionated
A poet,...A romantic...The voice of reason....and could he have fun with us!!...Teasing...understanding and making us all fall a little in Love with him....We could turn to him with troubles, with our happiest Moments...with our Frustrations over life, the writers of Jag etc...always Bill was there..
It's taken me a long time to get here to say all this..But I know you understand, share my grief, and my smile remembering one the Best ever.
