Bill McGraw

Happy B-Day Bill. Dad met Bill in Control Line airplanes years ago. Then when we made the switch to R/C boat's,Bill was already playing with them. He helped dad and me "A LOT" over the years. We really loved spending time at races with you,and the late night phone conversation's dad and you had. You will truly be missed... Go Fast And Turn Right.

I met Bill back in the 1970's when I bought Rossi .15's and other controline stuff from him. When I started running boats in the mid 1980's I bought A LOT of stuff from him. I too, miss the long phone conversations with him. I bounced a lot of topics and ideas off of him when I was IMPBA President. That's how much I respected his thoughts and knowledge. You really miss people like Bill. I always will.

I can remember meeting Bill McGraw at the International Modeler Show (IMS) in Pasadena, Calif back in the 1980's. I marveled at his booth as he had the complete Rossi line of engines on display. He was a very warm person. I bought a number of Rossi Marine engines from him back then.

I first met Bill in 1973. I was flying a quarter midget and needed parts for my Rossi .15.

He was a great guy. He loved to talk on the phone and had some great and personal talks.

He is truly missed. Doc
