S!

The most friendliest man I've fought against, along side with and had the pleasure to know.  I will always remember flying off for another base capture watching his Icon hang back and fade away knowing WB was watching and saying I've got this guys.  go on..........

WB it was a pleasure knowing you.  I'm deeply saddened and my prayers go out to the family. 

S! WB

There are very few people in this game who stand out, or that I can, in the course of my day, recall something said, or something done, and think 'what a nice thing to do'. WB was one of those people. Never saw his face, or shook his hand. It's a shame that we lose good people like WB it seems, all too often. I've been a Rook since I started playing AH almost 4 years ago. The A8s have always been kind to me, never an ill word or gesture, and WB actually taught me how to dive bomb in a Hellcat. He didn't have to, it was selflessness and I will always appreciate that from someone. Guys this is a game, and we can carry any persona we care to. Genuine kindness, even to a 'noob' back then, goes a long way. Peace be with you A8s and to WBs family. He is now in the uncapturable base in the sky, waiting for us all to join him.  :salute

My condolences to his Family and Friends.

I never had the pleasure of meeting the man, but from what I've read, it seems safe to say the community has lost a good role model and person.  My condolensces to his friends and family  :salute
