It is with great sadness I announce the passing of Mr.Bill. Many of you long time adventurers recall MrBill not only as longtime GameBoomer member but as the beloved walkthrough writer, reviewer and the website Mr. Bill’s Adventureland. His daughter thanks all of you who sent him cards, letters and gifts when he was going through a hard time after losing his beloved wife, Lela. You can read about his life and loves in his Obituary here.Ana

Thank you, Ana. For some reason, I've been thinking of Mr. Bill all day today. So sorry to hear of his passing, but now he is with his beloved Lela.
Game on, Mr. Bill and Lela!
Gardens put to bed. Time for more reading and gaming.

Oh my...what a full life you've had Mr Bill. Good Night my friend. I hope there are plenty of Point & Click Adventures for you to review in that great Adventure Land in the sky.

I was thinking about good old Bill a few days ago. His website was an excellent example of when web sites were actually personal, and not WordPress generated clones. R.I.P. Bill! His old URL has been hijacked by an add farm for casino games, but click this link for a trip down memory lane.

RIP Mr. Bill. I regret never getting to meet you in person. But I did enjoy the few telephone conversations I got to have with you. Too little too late, I wish there had been more. My prayers to your family and friends.

Very sad news.....I do remember Mr Bill when he posted here many years ago. He put his heart and soul into adventure gaming, he was hooked like the rest of us. Creating a website to promote Adventure gaming and to share with ALL.......well you just don't see much of that anymore. He loved the genre
Looking over his "Adventureland", thank you Mikael, brought back so many memories. He was one of a kind. Thank you Mr Bill
It's never too late!

I received this message from Bill's daughter. Thank you all for your wishes! Nice to see the posting Ana.
I have shared it with his family who were mostly really little when dad was doing this ... but they played Pajama Sam and Freddy fish games because of him. I think Mikael's posting of the archive will be interesting for them too.
Thank you for your kindness.
