WB was never one to play for score, he played to be a part of the team. His leadership was subtle, he would beat you with kindness until you felt so bad you wanted to be right next to him. He was a special glue for our squad because we never had to worry who was watching the mint, he was. We never had to ask for resupply on base, he did. We never had to watch our backs, he was doing that for us. For every crappy job out there, WB had a smile and a how soon do you want it done attitude. He loved our squad, and he loved the game. He was always one to forgive, forget, and say something nice about an adversary when we were grumpy.
 The AH community has lost a wonderful man, our squad a wonderful teammate and the world a great and loving man. Until we meet again WB, <S> Bro!

Thank-you Hunter for describing him.  Prayers for him, his family, and friends.

 :salute  WB

He was one of those guy who just played to enjoy the game and to be around others.  I always enjoyed having him on range chat.

He will be missed.
