My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I hope that they know how many people loved and respected Bill and how much he will be missed.

I would also give my prayer to TFMAster and his family. I saw his work and it was fantastic. He will be missed.

I'm in shock. I really don't know what to do right now. TFmaster started out as my idol, then as Bill he became one of my best friends. I never expected something like this would happen.

This is truly sad. He was very talented, and will be sorely missed. My condolences to his family and friends.

Wow...(looks back on past 3 months of 6 day work weeks)

I think I'm going to spend some extra time with my son today. I'm sure many of you with children understand why.

Sincerest condolences from me and mine.

31 is too young, it's just too young - especially for any transfan who is no doubt still a kid at heart.

my deepest sympathies to his family & friends.

Oh Bo Sammo Sam :'(

WOW. Just wow. Just this month I used one of his kitbashes as a template and guide for mine. As a newbie to this hardcore fandom, I never got to meet him but I recognized his amazing work. A tragic loss for the community but nothing compared to what his wife and child must be going through. There are no words...

It looks like the tfmaster site is going to have a paypal link set up shortly...

Truly is a sad day. TFMaster was a good man, he was an artist, a damned good one at that. Unfortunatly I was never able to meet him in real life. To die at such a young age is unreal.

My thoughts go out to his family, I wish them the absolute best.

He was a hell of a guy and gave me inspiration for the kitbashes i am working on. My prayers go out to him and his family. Tis a sad thing to see someone this young die. He will be very sorely missed. RIP TFMaster *salutes*

This is a sad day for all TF fans. May you find peace, Bill. You will always be the Master.

by **siekone** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 12:14 pm

It's not often that I cry, I consider myself a pretty tuff guy but this plain sucks and I am deeply hurt by this you will be missed my friend by all here may your spark rest peacfully!

There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said... I always admired the man's work, that alone should be plenty of reason to miss him, but after hearing how great a guy he was from many of you, I never knew him, but I think I'll miss him even more knowing that I also never will...

I was fast asleep. Ryan called me about 8 times last night/this morning to give me this horrible news. He finally got ahold of me at about 6:00 this morning; and I was so distraught that I just lay there for about 4 hours, thinking of him.

I'm including a picture of he and I working on one of my projects; he was sort of my "Kitbash Konsultant", as it were. I lost touch with him when I relocated to Chicago, and that will remain a great shame on me; were were great friends! I had to take a few years off of kitbashing, as it's a VERY expensive hobby, and I went through some EXTREMELY trying times. Now, just as I'm about to get back into it...

...There's nothing more I can say. I will miss him greatly, as will the rest of the TransFan community.

Till all are one, my friend...

I didnt know him but I am sorry to hear of his passing. 31 is my age also and it's really no time at all. From the photos he looks like a happy man and at least he had family he knew loved him.

RIP TFmaster

How about putting up a Seibertron Gallery of all his Kitbash work as a sort of memorial for the excellent work he did?

by **Bugbite** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 12:29 pm

His customs were some of the best I've ever seen.

RIP. :-(

by **Sylus** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 12:32 pm

That's sad such a young age and he leaves behind a wife a child of only 8 years of age, my prayers and thoughts go out to his family and friends. RIP TFmaster and may your spark join the matrix, the greatest of Seibertron.
