Those who have followed this blog’s never-ending thread on OJ Simpson are aware that Bill Wasz often used my comments as a vehicle for communicating with others. Today in my comments I learned that Bill died this week; I still don’t know what the cause of death was, but I have no choice but to be suspicious. A few months ago, Bill sent me some emails that were clearly suicidal, and I even discussed my fears at that time with our mutual friend Joseph Bosco. I learned a lot about Bill from Joseph , who has a moving post about Bill’s death on his own blog. Months ago Joseph told me via email what a good person Bill was. To learn more about him and his remarkable story, please go to Joseph’s blog and follow the link to the definitive OJ-Wasz article.
I can’t say I ever “knew” Bill, but I can say that I always felt he was a good person who had some bad luck. He always impressed me with his humanity and compassion. So this really hurts.
I’ll start blogging about my trip tomorrow; right now, I’m still in shock.
Update: You’ll also want to go here for another heartfelt post about Bill. Meanwhile, not a word about it in the mainstream media. Odd.
