Mistah Willies Has Shuffled Off His Mortal Coil
I do not have details or even an exact date, but Bill Thompson aka Mistah Willies has joined his Native ancestors in glory quite recently and unexpectedly.

Re: Mistah Willies Has Shuffled Off His Mortal Coil
This is awful news.
Though our times didn't always sync up, I loved our Skype calls; I know that others will confirm that he was the most pleasant, polite and downright lovely human being. Still intend to make it to his neck of the woods and raise a glass one day. Tonight I'll pour a little of my drink into the earth.

Thank you AOM for letting us know and yes, we appreciate any info that may come your way. Willies is beloved to all whose path he crossed and will be terribly missed. Us Skype miscreants will miss seeing his smiling face, hearing his hearty laugh, and all his many stories he had to share. Rest in drink and peace, mistah dubya. You are forever in our hearts.
Okole maluna!

Re: Mistah Willies Has Shuffled Off His Mortal Coil
Fellow Drunkards, we have lost a brother. He will be dearly missed, for our world and the world beyond was made a better place by Bill being in it. Bill was a man of many fine qualities, his intellect and character, his genuine nature and a vast, generous heart for his love of family and friends. He raised the best of humanity in all of us. I will miss him very much.
Sorry I am at a loss for words. I will buy a bottle of Kraken for you, brother, and raise it in your direction. Upchich gnomial, nedabe.

Re: Mistah Willies Has Shuffled Off His Mortal Coil
I already have and will continue to raise a considerable amount of glasses in his memory. Bill was one of the most Pro-Life or rather pro LIVING people I ever had the privilege to get to know and call a friend. He would not want us to be sad, though that is our prerogative in this situation but rather crack a beer, crack a joke on his behalf and crack on with it.
You will be missed but never forgotten and as our livers swell you will live on along with all of us. I love you, see you in hell.

You may now lavish your congratulations upon me.
Re: Mistah Willies Has Shuffled Off His Mortal Coil
RIP Willies. You will always be one of my favorite drunks, and people at that.
In honor,
DRINK!

I never got the chance to talk to him, so, all I can do is raise my glass and offer my condolences to his family, friends, and all of you on this board that knew and loved him.

I also found this clip from a local (Bangor Maine) radio show that features our departed friend's story telling skills.

Re: Mistah Willies Has Shuffled Off His Mortal Coil
I remember the videos he would send me, letting me know that it was time to drink, lol. I was always working and hated that I missed most of his Skype requests. Goddamn 3 pm, man, and I'm still at work. I saved a few of them for a while, but didn't know any better and deleted them.
Hilarious, man. He was just straight up funny. I'd get his notifications at work and open them, giggling like an asshole at my desk because damn he was funny.
The last conversation we had he opened up about his childhood, bouncing from reservation to reservation and how he had to fight at an early age. Happy we got to talk.
You know what? I'm a buy me some Krakken and say fuck it, we're all on this ride together, right? Hurtling through space and time, in the bar car of this rickety astro-train, we all get off at our stops and his was just a little sooner than expected. Goddamn, at least he left some rum for the rest of us.
Maybe when I get off, I'll double back and look him up, get some closure on that story. Hopefully it turned out that he kicked those reservation kids in the ass.

Re: Mistah Willies Has Shuffled Off His Mortal Coil
I posted one of his last videos in the Modern Drunkard Board channel on Skype. Watch it with a drink in your hand. It's poignant.

Re: Mistah Willies Has Shuffled Off His Mortal Coil
When I first got on Skype he would send me videos of himself taking a long gulp of beer and then burping. Then he sent me one wondering out loud if there really was a Hugh Blanton and if he was just talking into some cyber void. I still have them all on my Skype, I don't know how to post them like Dear Booze did, but it looks like he sent me one at the same time he sent the one DB posted. I remember the cat in the background.

No words can describe this loss. He was that glue that held us together. And he always will. I got a bottle of Willie's favorite "Kraken" rum to celebrate his life.
As a tribute to Willies i will share my collection of his brilliants thoughts both from forum and skype conversations. This will be for us, modern drunkards. Cheers.
