I knew Bill for 30 years at the time of his passing. I was 13 when we first met and he was certainly one to help anyone with anything involving vent. I still have tons of photos of Bill and autographed 8 x 10's and stuff from his shop. A great vent and one of the all time nice guys. Bill passed away about 8 months after my dad and I drove the 6 hours to Hopkinsville to the funeral. What I wouldn't give for one more afternoon sitting and talking to him. Gary Koepke Hey Dan,

Thanks for the memories. I knew Bill for 30 years at the time of his passing. I was 13 when we first met and he was certainly one to help anyone with anything involving vent. I still have tons of photos of Bill and autographed 8 x 10’s and stuff from his shop. A great vent and one of the all time nice guys. Bill passed away about 8 months after my dad and I drove the 6 hours to Hopkinsville to the funeral. What I wouldn’t give for one more afternoon sitting and talking to him.

He was very gracious to the vent community and I have some press clippings he sent me with an autographed picture. I thought so much of Bill that I modeled my "Aunt Dottie" figure after his "Aunt Fanny." This is a Bill Anderson Starter Head that I finished and I also have my "Skidmore J Lush" in honor of "Willie the Drunk." He was one of a kind and I sure miss him. I would love to see some pictures of the "Dummy Den" if you have them. Cheers, Larry Harris - ComicVent Dan,

If you have the Boley letter wish would post it too. Lost all in computer crash last year. Amazing is it not that Hopkinsville, KY is where all the Boleys and Paul Stadelman were from.
