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.

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.
