Bill "Wild Bill" Guarnere passed away yesterday.  Another of the Band Of Brothers goes off to make the final big jump in the sky.....

My sister told me about his passing this morning. Sad to hear since we are both Band of Brothers fans. His good friend Babe will be there waiting for him.

I was saying to a friend earlier that the original Band Of Brothers has really started to thin these last couple years.  *** Winters, Babe Heffron, Shifty Powers and now Wild Bill.  Pretty indicative of reality I guess, in which the World War 2 generation are finally coming to the ends of their lives, but still sad regardless.

Sad indeed, I am just finishing off reading "Bill and Babes'" book "Brothers in Battle". Sad day indeed.

It  was saddening to hear that another Easy company member has answered the final roll call and reported for eternal duty joining all the other hero of WW2 that went before him.
