Bill Jenkins
Just received an email from Mike Strickler this morning. Was told that Bill Jenkins passed away this morning. I don't have any details.

Re: Bill Jenkins
I knew he was ill. Maybe J.C. Childress can help us out here. I am crushed! Another great legend passes. God's Speed Grumpy. Jim

Re: Bill Jenkins
God must have broke the mold when he created Grumpy because they sure don't make 'em like that anymore! What an incredible mind and talent. RIP...

Re: Bill Jenkins
He passed this morning somewhere between 9 and 9:30 I think. He was in the hospital for the last several days. He will be greatly missed, thats for sure. I had just sent him a box of cigars about a week ago. Please keep the family and friends in your prayers.
