Update on Digital Bill Memorial Services
As promised, here are the details for Bill's memorial services from Mr. Marc, Bills co-host on the podcast and good friend. Please re-post and advise anyone that is interested in paying their respects to Bill and his family. Thank you.
Everyone,
For those of you that may not have been informed, it is with the deepest of sorrow that we inform you of the passing of our friend, brother, son, and co-host of the "Wizards of Technology" internet podcast, William "Digital Bill" Douthett. Our dear friend passed away from a sudden heart attack on October 4th, 2006 at the age of 47. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.
The family has made arrangements to hold a small, private funeral ceremony in Butler, Pennsylvania where Bill's ashes will be laid to rest.
In addition, a memorial ceremony will be held on Saturday, October 14th, 2006 at 3:00pm in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Family and friends will be in attendance. If you would like to attend, please visit The Wizards of Technology website for detailed information:

Please dress as you feel comfortable. Whether you'd like to dress formally or in shorts and sandals, the choice is yours. Bill would not have wanted it any other way.
Water and soft drinks will be provided, and if you'd like, please feel free to bring a simple, covered tray of finger food.
Also, we encourage everyone to send us their best pictures of Bill and/or a short video tribute that we can show at the services. Please send your submissions to:
mistermarc@wizardsoftechnology.com
When visiting the website, we encourage you to post your condolences, comments, and anecdotes about our friend Digital Bill. Your notes will be published on the website and will eventually live on as a digital archive in tribute to Bill and his legacy of achievements.
Lastly, to help Bill's family shoulder the cost of funeral arrangements, please consider making a donation in his memory. Look for the "Make a Donation" button at the website. Any funds in excess of expenses will be donated to the "Presbyterian Disaster Assistance - Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund", a charity that has been chosen by the family for memorial contributions, and a cause for which Bill believed in greatly.
Please forward this message to all of Bill's friends and acquaintances, so as to assist us in reaching them.
Our prayers go out to his family and friends in their time of need.
Best regards,
Marc "Mister Marc" Asturias
