Posts to the tribute of William Rodman Maupin, Sr.

Dear Della, Linda, & Billy, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Bill was such a wonderful man. I enjoyed working with him & keeping him busy working on my Corvairs when they needed TLC. He was great with them. I always enjoyed my time with your family, & even with your ghosts. I'm sure they are still looking out for you all. We never did get around to trading homes & it's been several years since we visited, but I think of you often. May your memories of all your years together help you through these difficult times.

I would like to forward my thoughts and prayers to Biill's family. I have some great memories of Bill when I was a kid. My father, also a Bill, worked with Bill and they became friends through that work relationship. My father would purchase and or trade vehicles with bill and a regular basis. I loved to travel to Bill's house to repair a car, usually some type of a Corrvair or VW. He was quite the mechanic and always was fun to be around. This is truly a loss to all, he was a great men.

Uncle Bill, You will be missed very, very much. You have been a big part of my life and definitely had a lot of influence on who I have become. I am certain that I am not the only person who feels this way. I have enjoyed your knowledge of virtually everything that I have been interested in and I enjoyed the way you shared that knowledge with me. It actually made me feel empowered because I knew it came from someone I trusted who actually knew what they were talking about. I will never forget how strong you were and your infectious laugh. I believe Bill Jr. has your same laugh and will continue to share that with us. I Love You and Will Always Remember You, Robert Howard
