Very sad news. Bill & I have been friends for more than 30 years. One of the highlights of my annual cross country trip is visiting with Bill & Jane for a few hours. In July we attended an Omaha Storm Chasers game, and he clearly had some mobility issues. Fortunately we were able to arrange for handicapped access seats and made it a little easier for Bill. A lifelong collector, he had a passion for quality items, an incredible knowledge of many of the hobby's esoteric issues. I will call Jane tomorrow, but definitely a sad day for the hobby.

Sad news. He was probably my favorite non-Arizona dealer of post-war cards, along with Roger N.-- he often had less main-stream stuff in good shape and was willing to chat. Bought lots of raw high-grade post cereal cards from him. Condolences to his family and friends.

I agree with all the comments; when at Beckett he always shared all his sales information at shows and when I left Beckett he was always as friendly
RIP to a good man

Unfortunately, based on what I have been reading here, I did not have the good fortune to know Dr. McAvoy. But I wish I had.
My condolences to his family and many friends here on Net 54.

I loved when Bill set up at the Hollywood Park shows...he always seemed to have some stuff stashed under the table for me to try to identify and then buy. I remember buying so much oddball from him over the years and he did not only deal in high end stuff (he kept a box or two of low end oddball and prewar under the table often). He will be missed and my condolences to his family and friends.

I just saw this today and am terribly saddened. I had some great conversations with him over the past few years at the shows here in Omaha. He was a wealth of knowledge and an incredibly nice man. Our hobby lost one of the great ones.

I had some dealings with Bill in the 90s. Always first class. My condolences to the family.
