Bill Schwab RIP

[Alan9940]

I never met Bill, but I've watched many of his YT videos and his warmth and generosity was very apparent even in an online platform. I wish his family and friends the warmest of condolences. RIP, Bill.

I met Bill here on this forum, like many of you and we forged a friendship that lasted quite a long time, Laura and I will miss Bill, he frequently visited our shop over the years, and we did attend a couple of his workshops in the early years of Photostock. I can say that Bill IMO had the skills to be respected as one of the best printmakers in the world , I will miss his laugh.

This is a very sad news.
Met him in Toronto having a show together at Bob Carnie’s place long time ago. What he did with Photostock and his workshops was remarquable.
RIP

I had the great good fortune of meeting Bill on a couple of occasions. He was a genuinely good guy. He will be greatly missed.

Not sure how I missed it, but I am only just finding this out. I never met Bill, but I considered it a real honor when he friended me on Facebook many years back. I have always wanted to take one of his trips or go to Photostock, but that never happened for me. I saw his last post on Facebook mentioning that he was heading to Scotland to lead a trip to the Hebrides, it sounded like such a wonderful trip. Hard to imagine that he didn't make it back. RIP Bill, thanks for being such an inspiration to me and to countless others.

Wow. I'm just a hobbyist but I watched many of his videos over the past couple of years. RIP. I hope youtube is not monetizing off his channel without providing something to his family. I also hope they don't take the videos off.
