Had a visit today with Bill and it is unbelievable of his recovery from a hip replacement just three weeks ago. No aid (walker, cane, or crutches) what so ever and he is going up and down stairs. He is even getting in a little work time on the motorhome.

Ken,

I add my thanks to those of others on this forum for your update on Bill and Bobbie.

During my years of running the tech program for GMC Classics, I highly valued Bill's contributions as a presenter on a wide variety of tech topics - and as an audience participant. While Bill is very modest in his demeanor, when Bill spoke, "we all listened!" (ref: EF Hutton brokerage commercial of late 70s/early'80s).

You pegged him right: Bill Bramlett IS Mr. GMC!!

Bill will be missed. He was a true gentleman with deep knowledge of our motorhomes and always willing to lend a helping hand. I’m really sorry to hear of his passing.

He was very kind to me some years ago when redoing the headliner.
