Uncle Bill was indeed loved by everyone who knew him – including me – and he was certainly nothing if not kind, gentle, patient, understanding and a pleasure to be around and to talk to. I hope that he completed this earthly part of his journey with a minimum of pain or discomfort, and I know that he’s now much happier and in a better place together with his dear, beloved Claire. I am sad that he passed, but I’m inspired by the amazingly full & rich life he led and glad that he no longer suffers. Rest in peace, Uncle Bill. My thoughts and sympathies are with you, Sternberg family.

Josh, this is your cousin, Janie. (Ask your father — like you, I’ll wait.) Your dad called me a few days ago to tell me that Bill was non-responsive to those around him and that sometime soon, he would leave us. And he called me again this afternoon to let me know Bill had slipped away early this morning. He’s leaving corporeally (is that a word?). To those of us who knew him, he’ll remain with us — a strong man, a strong spirit, with a gentle soul. I always tried to call him on or near his birthday, and for years he told me the same “ring” joke. He’d sing to me over the phone. He always told me he loved me. We hadn’t seen each other in, literally, decades but he’s one of my very favorite people. I use the present tense because, as I tried to say above, he’ll continue to live in my heart and mind. You’ve been so lucky to have had Bill in your life for so long. Thank you for posting the songs — they brought a smile through the tears. I send my love to you and the rest of the family.

Josh: a stirring commemoration of the man I knew as Uncle Villie – he truly was a pleasant and dignified soul who always greeted with a smile. Thank you for sharing your perspective…may your family draw strength from one another and from extended family and friends who will gather around you in this difficult time.

Comment on Twitter vs Google by Leo Isaac

There is no doubt that Twitter is now making an enormous impact on the political and social world. However, if Twitter did not exist, people wanting to spread new and views quickly would still have many other channels. On the other hand, we need Google to ensure that we can search and find any news, views and any other information published in any online format. Yes, there are other search engines but yes also there are many alternative ways to get your message out without Twitter.
