Just read on the HAMB that Willowbilly3 passed. I knew he was sick but he was on here 3 days ago and the HAMB yesterday. He will be missed. RIP

 

Sorry to hear this. Never met him in person, but always enjoyed his posts.

 

Sad to hear of this. Talented guy that knew his stuff. Godspeed WB3

 

 

Very sad to hear. I was fortunate to meet him last fall and spend a couple of hours at his place. We had a great time looking at his various projects and talking old trucks. He was very talented and I enjoyed seeing his creativity and artistic works first hand. A return to his place was on my list for this spring. A shame that I won't be making that trip now to see him again. Rest in peace, my friend.

For those who may only know him as Willowbilly3, his name is JB Hoffman from Belle Fourche SD.

 

RIP MY FRIEND !

 

Sad to hear this. Great wealth of knowledge and a nice guy too. RIP.

I too, am saddened by this news. I just returned from a visit to Seattle to read this. We shared a lot of experiences in common. I had hoped to visit him this spring, but by the time we got the logistics worked out he wrote me that he was feeling too weak to have guests. Clever, talented and artistic, may my friend I only knew as Willowbilly3 rest in peace.

Thank you for sharing these with us. His hotrod wasn't period pre-war or post-war it was just a really cool hot rod and it was his. I loved his photo essays when he'd take us along for a ride.

 

Always sad to see someone go. Only been part of his post a few times. Seemed like a really cool guy. My condolences to his family, friends and to you guys who knew him.

 

RIP what a drag, he was great to talk to and helpful.
