Wa-au-nut has passed.

Just letting everyone know, My Uncle John (Wa-Au-Nut) has passed away.

Went in for throat surgery last monday, while in surgery he suffered a major stroke on the left side and a minor on the right side.
He never regained conciousness from the anesthesia.

Friday morning at 0302 i witnessed my uncle and best friend take his last breath of earthly air & pass on and into the arms of the lord.

Phish.

Sorry for your family's loss. Make sure he's buried with one or two of his treasure tools and finds.

shortly after posting this, i realized heaven is paved with streets of gold.
I believe the lord is a very very busy person right now replacing local highways and smaller roads.

Phish,

Never had the pleasure of meeting Bill in person, but we had emailed
each other quite a bit just discussing life, and of course, gold. Didn't
have to meet him to know he was a good man.

My condolences on your loss Phish, and prayers that you and your family
will soon overcome the grief, and remember nothing but the best of memories.

Mike (Dizz)
