Ray: Sad to hear that. I enjoyed and appreciated his input here as well as his books.

This is sad to hear I've really enjoyed the two books I got from him and the red dirt elephant billfold I got from him I think will outlast me. RIP Will DRSS Member | |||

Rest in Peace Bill Stewart. You were one of a kind and I will miss your wise and sometimes curmudgeonly posts here. Will remember you everytime I wear the chinks you sold me when I work cattle. Now in the far green country, under a swift sunrise. On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

Thanks for posting this news - sad to hear. I knew Bill professionally for 35+ years, but didn't realize until a few years ago when I saw his photo in one of his books that he was both the author of African hunting books and the mechanical engineering professor that I knew!

Such sad news. I enjoyed knowing and talking to Bill. He was one of a kind. Bill, was a hunter true to himself. I remember Buzz telling the story about the first hunt he booked with Bill. Bill walked up to Buzz and declared, “I don’t walk, I don’t talk, and I don’t tip, do you still want to hunt with me?” One of a kind. Sad day. Rest in peace. Mike | |||

Very sad news. RIP, Bill. I've signed copies of all of his books, and wear an elephant belt and carry an elephant wallet he made, daily. He made my wife a beautiful elephant clutch and wallet a few years ago for an anniversary gift. | |||

I talked with him quite a few times and I'm very sad to hear of his passing. Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

RIP Will. I've enjoyed your books and several of your red dirt elephant products. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

Bill called me on the phone one day and said,"I cant find any of the large wild rags and Im bett'en you can"..I sent him a half dozen the size of a bed sheet, He was amazed and happy as a church mouse.

A shame. I had been meaning to get his book but alas, I guess it’s too late now. | |||
