Bill Parisi's Website...take a look.

Hi Marty,

  Every once in while I would take a look at Bills website and his layout progress

Always enjoyed looking at it. The layout looks great, I will miss bill.

Thanks for posting,

Alex

Thanks Marty, I put it in my favorites!  Bill's picture taking of his visits will certainly be missed.

Ken

He really supported the hobby!

Dave

Good idea, Marty.  His photos deserve some second looks before the site goes away.  I will miss following his travels by way of his photo albums.

Thanks for posting that link, Marty!

I'll let your thread stand as it is so it won't get "lost" in the responses on the other thread.

Bill loved this hobby and he loved being associated with OGR.  We, of course, valued his participation and his devotion.  He truly was a member of our small and close family, and the place will never be quite the same without Bill and his booming voice dropping by for a visit or to drop off an idea for an article or an actual article.  I'm just hoping that Judy continues to bring young Zach, their grandson, by for frequent visits because I'm quite comfortable that the love Zach already has for trains--real and toy--will be with him for a lifetime.

You are right in noting that Bill's website adequately demonstrates his devotion to this hobby.  He not only visited every event and layout he possibly could, he also documented those visits.  Quite a guy, and in possession of a true heart of gold!

His photos of Tony Lash's layout are just awesome. I've never seen Any that are better. A top notch guy we have lost.  RIP Bill.

Amen.

I've previously said, and will again, I greatly enjoyed Bill's photos from his travels. I continue to occasionally look through them to get ideas and inspiration for new projects on my layout. 

Wow.  Thanks for posting.  Had no idea he had all that info in one location.  Bill's web site is an train education in itself.  Great material, photos and memories.

Yesterday I spent a couple of hours just reading everything on his site....very enjoyable but also very sad in knowing he is gone....

I found a nice photo that Bill took of me and Tony Lash in 2010.  I remember going on the tour of Tony's layout with Bill.  He sure got around with that camera.  So many good things he was able to share with all these nice photos.  Bill will surely be missed.  BigRail

Thank you Marty. I had never been to Bill's site but I certainly knew him from all he did in the hobby and the times we ended up together.

I've enjoyed Bill's website many times.  He was certainly one of the great enthusiasts in our hobby!
