I knew Bill many years and considered him a friend and colleague. We tried to get together at last year's G2E conference but our timing was off. We wrote for some of the same publications. I didn't know he had Parkinson's. It is a terribly debilitating illness as I watched my father suffer with it, deteriorating him for over 15 years. It is not the disease itself that will kill you. It's the complications caused by the disease. I'm sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He also wrote a few books, I believe, one on winning at low limit stakes poker. He was a good guy and I never heard a bad word ever spoken about him. That is the sign of a true gentleman, as Jean and others have so well said. My condolences to all of his family and friends everywhere.

Subject: [vpFREE] Bill Burton's Death
I just heard that Bill Burton, former About.com guide to CasinoGambling, passed away in Connecticut. He had been diagnosed with Parkinson's last year. He was a skilled VP player who also wrote very practical advice on gambling. He was also a real gentleman.
