Some of my best life experiences were with Bill, particularly the bicycle and motorcycle trips. This image is from a scanned negative, back when both my camera and my photography skills left a bit to be desired. You can see a few more here.
BIll Black passed away from a long fight with cancer on June 17, 2007. Bill left a deep legacy of knowledge and friendship. This site simply serves as an outpost documenting a few memories of his life.

I worked with Bill in the theater in the mid-seventies when he was performing with the Wholesome Junk Band at the Melodrama Theater. I got to know him through our performing experiences and he sold me my first bike. I got to know him as a serious cyclist and bike racer. Also Bill shared some of his writing with me which showed a special gift there. All I can say from learning more about his fykk life is that the man I knew who was an extraordinary person at that time, only became more extraordinary over time- a true Renaissance man. I am so glad that I finally learned more about the rest of Bill's life and the legacy he has left behind.What a gift to have know him.
Thanks Bobby(?)...Ralph
