Count Sandor, SASS #74075 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I'm sad to report that long-time cowboy, Fillmore (aka. William "Bill" Fillman), passed away early this morning after a long battle with illness. Those of you who knew Fillmore know that he was a fast shooter and a tough competitor who would push and scrap to come out on top, but at the same time would offer good advice, loan guns, and quite literally give the shirt off his back to anyone who was in need. Fillmore truly lived "the cowboy way" in every sense of those words, and I am proud to have had the honor of knowing and working with him. Services will be this Saturday, January 12, at Wise Family Funeral Hone in Avon, Illinois. Visitation will be at 9:00 AM, with services at 10:30. An online obituary should be available later this week at the link below. https://www.wisefamilyfuneralhome.com/listings CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawdog Dago Dom Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Fillmore was a great cowboy. As two brand new shooters he was always patient with us, and explained better ways to get through a stage. We really missed seeing him this past year. Learned as much from watching him shoot as we did talking with him. RIP Fillmore. Lawdog and Shortcake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Chance Morgun Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Fillmore was quite a guy. To look at him you wouldn't think that he could make it from the loading table to the firing line. But at the beep, he was as fast as a 20 yr. old. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
