:( :( :(

Bill & Cathi are always one of my favorite teams ever. Season 19 is the first season that I watched after missing TAR for five years and I instantly rooted for them because of their spirit despite their age and everything.

My deepest prayer to Cathi and all their family :(

Very sad news. I saw a tweet that mentioned Bill's death this morning and was hoping it was wrong. Then I came here and found that, sadly, it was true. My thoughts and prayers go out to Bill, Cathi and their friends and families.

Saw the same tweet too; and my reaction was the same. So sad to know that it's true. :'(  My condolences to Cathi and their family.

Yeah, I had a similar feeling.

They were so sweet, lovely and awesome on their season.  I guess I have nothing more to say other then, condolences to the family.

I hoped to see them again in the next All-star season before they become too old for the race.  :(

So sad to read this.  So Bill is the first previous male racer to leave us, then?  All of the others we've lost so far have been female. :(
