Has anyone heard from Bill over at Cracker Line Miniatures? I reached out to him a few times over the past month or so with no response. The website mentions some health issues. I'm just hoping that my hobby friend is ok.

I was told this past Saturday that Bill has been in the Intensive Care unit in his hometown Hospital and was really very ill. The source was someone who has done work for, Bill, and has spoken with Bill's wife about his situation. That's all the information the source relayed at this time.

Thanks for letting me know VAGamer. Very unfortunate news, I've been ordering from him for years. Met him and his wife years ago at a convention and periodically email back and forth usually after an order.

I will say my prayers for his recovery.

Jesus…I hope he's going to be alright. That's awful news.

It certainly is, I wish him the very best. He's a great guy!

That is terrible news. I sincerely hope Bill makes a fast and full recovery from his illness.

@vagamer, if you hear any updates could you let us know? I have been thinking and praying for him and his family.

As of today, no new updates.

His family is keeping things close.

They did say he was up and using sarcasm during his ICU stay, so we're sure his sarcasm gland isn't broken.

I send him--albeit via TMP only--my very best wishes and hopes for his total and record breaking recovery.

He's a MENSCH and provider of so many things unique and lovely.

Very sorry to hear this. I shall hope for a good outcome and send his family and friends best wishes for a complete recovery.

Good morning folks,

I been receiving continuous inquiries into Bill Moreno's condition. His family has been very guarded in their response and wanted to keep everything private. I know they appreciate that we have done so.

Bill himself has posted an update on one of his FB pages so I figured it was ok to share with his close personal friends here.

Apparently he's doing much better but has a long and painful road to recovery ahead first in a rehab facility and then Chemo. He plans are to be at Nashcon this year! Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with him and his family.
