Muncle made me laugh a lot, even when he was being cantankerous. He was a retired old fed with a clear outlook and a complete
lack of understanding how anybody could blame The Developer for everything. I seem to remember Muncle inviting some posters
to take the highway out of town, and with Muncle you knew, even if he didn't say it, that he meant to add "and be on that highway by midnight."
Who would have ever thought a stranger on an internet forum could worm his way into our hearts like Muncle did?
Safe passage, old friend.

Thank you for posting the picture. I wondered a lot how Muncle looked. I understand that Muncle was a nickname given to him by his nieces. Someone told me that he never married and had no children.
I have thought of him dozens of times since I heard of his passing. I can't recall ever hearing his real name and looked in todays obituaries and none fit him. It is wonderful and good that we can know and care about a person that we have never physically met. Dear Bill, You have been such an influence on us and such a part of our life here on Talk of the Villages. You are so missed.
Thank you again Tony.
