Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Tags : None I got this overnight from his wife and daughter... Over the weekend things took a turn for the worse. The doctors believe they may have done all they can do. At this point the lungs are just too ill and damaged. The steroids are not working to the point they had hoped. If there is no improvement within the next 48 hours they will discuss whether the vent is doing any good or just prolonging the end. Basically, they have said he will not be making it much longer. Thanks to all of you who have visited ,prayed and called or emailed. Words can not express the comfort. Mary Ann and DiAnna Hope the time he spends on this earth will be without much pain. Our prayers go to him and his family... Last Edited By: Easybevo Sun, 21-Jun-09 12:39 PM. Edited 3 times.

We first started tailgating together back in the 80's, when you could park wherever you wanted to. I watched Dianna grow up mostly and he did the same with Jordo. As a matter of fact, he has a pet deer my daughter gave him. I only wish the best.

I knew he had been taking oxygen off and on for quite awhile now. I guess I knew this was coming but it's still so sad to hear.

He was damn proud to be involved in honoring a great Longhorn. ______________________ "If an enumeration be made of all our rights," Madison queried, "will it not be implied that everything omitted is given to the general government?"

It's sad to see so many of the guys I knew, or knew of, growing up who are passing. Bill's teammate at Waco High, Dwight Hood, passed a month or so ago. Yogi says posting is 90% half mental

Unfortunately, we had some severe differences over the years, but this news saddens me to no end, and I will keep him in my heartfelt prayers.

Posts: 1 (Wed, 17-Jun-09 4:00 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	I'm probably one of the last people he would want to hear from or see, but it was with a heavy heart and deep melancholy feeling that I received this sad news of ol' reesetex. I appreciate booley passing along the info. We probably agreed about more things in general than either one of us would want to admit. We damned sure got into each other's wheelhouses on our disagreements, and I'm neither proud nor pleased about that. It is what is. Reesetex has a heritage and history amongst us Orangebloods that will never be forgotten. Prayers and good tidings go out to Bill and his family. At the end of the day, he is as burnt orangeblooded as it gets. Allan

Seriously, that would have been so tragic if he hadn't been around for that.

Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts Report Post	Like many others here I had some disagreements with Bill, but in the final analysis I always knew he was a good guy. My prayers are with him and his family. Some people are like Slinkies, they're really good for nothing, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

This is truly a sad day and my thoughts go out to his family.

Brothers tease each other and compete with each other. It is what we do. But in the end, Reesetex is another Burnt Orange brother. Sad to read, and I wish him and his family the best.

Seriously, that would have been so tragic if he hadn't been around for that. That's very true. I've often lamented the fact that PhxHorn didn't experience that particular joy. No matter my differences with reesetex, I never doubted for a moment that he bled burnt orange. Hook 'em!!! ================== "Eyes just keeps being right." - Sealman
