Oh my... that is where I remember him from posts. I guess I didn't see him post enough to realize he hadn't been posting for several months. :Q I never spoke with him but he always seemed like a good guy by his posts.

He was often speaking about his son... VERY proud of him. It sounded like Epoman put all his energy into raising him, basically fought through the daily, extreme pain, to be with his son, to provide for him, and to buy him gifts to reward him and see the smile on his face. Already, he was so very proud of him and with the way he was raised, I'm sure the son will not let him down.

I don't even know the guy. This is just what I remember from reading his posts. I just can't explain it.... I'm at a loss for words.

Very sad to hear.

That I know of, this is the third person now, who I did not know or speak to, but definitely knew their posts, that has died. Each time I truly do feel sad when I find out, for someone who is seemingly a stranger. So many people die everyday around the world and I don't feel this way over that. It's amazing how for such a large internet forum, the tight community and feelings we have for each other.

Damn, that makes the second forum member I know of in the past year who died at an untimely age...

R.I.P. and condolences to the family

I can confirm that Bill "Epoman" Halcomb passed away March 2, 2007 in his sleep. I've spoken to his wife a few times and have a copy of his death certificate (which I had to send to his web host).

Since his passing I have volunteered to help keep the "IHD" family of sites up and running. Bill and I actually had a few discussions about what would happen in the event of his untimely death. Obviously no one saw this coming and I assumed he would be with us for decades to come.

My only regret is that I didn't get to meet such an extraordinary person.

If anyone would like to offer financial support to his family, Bill's wife has access to his Paypal account.

RIP Epoman, you will be missed and I will never forget

:thumbsup: :sun:

I remember him from a thread asking for advice about a spammer on his forum. I added a brief entry of him to the AT Wiki, but anyone who could elaborate should add to it.
