Passed away Friday the 13th.
This was the fist person I met in AH, he pulled me into his awesome squad, The Rowdy Ones and they all taught so much about the game and life itself. Awesome guy, deeply saddened with his passing.
Rest In Peace and Fair skies. :salute

His wife from Facebook:
"This is for The Rowdy Ones and all Bill's friends on Aces High: Bill passed away Friday, January 13. He was not in pain and was peaceful. He loved all you guys so much and counted you all as friends. He loved your cards sent when you heard he had leukemia. I wanted to let you know and tell you how much you all meant to him. Sincerely, Patricia Gise"

I'm going to miss him and his Brewster. Could always guarantee he'd be in the DA when we were hosting the gatherings. He taught me a lot, and I'm going to miss him.
RIP

Just talked to his wife Patricia. The nurse gave him his medications for the night, he fell asleep and never woke.
so he died peacefully. He has been fighting leukemia for about 4 months and everybody thought he had beat it.
On Tuesday he took a turn for the worst. Bill "rowdy1" Gies you will be missed.

Rowdy1 was quite the guy! He worked well into his 70's even though he didnt have too.
Bill made motox front fenders back in the day,maybe some of you remember the duck bill fenders,that was Bill's! He loved his dogs so that made him OK in my books right from the first time I met him.
Rowdy1 will be missed. :joystick:

Very saddened to hear this.
I too was in the Rowdy1's squad when I started out. Bill was always a stand up guy in my book. Yes, he loved his dogs. Turns out our squad was named after one of them :) And yes, he liked the Brewster. I remember the day HTC released the Brewster / I16 and Rowdy saying "Hey I could get used to this little bird!"
He was always willing to give advice or lend a hand. I arranged a squad get together in Chattanooga TN. Rowdy drove up from Auburndale FL to be there. That's the kind of guy he was. I have some great memories and some great friendships from those days.
A memorial flight is in order. But honestly I believe Rowdy would want us all to get together in the DA one night and do one of those Canyon Fights like we used to.
:salute Rowdy1 Fair winds and blue skies to you Sir. :airplane: You will be missed.

Terrible news. Newer to the game, but he was very helpful and I always looked forward to flying with him.
