Bill Wells was a valuable contributor to this list, and will be
missed. I got the following note last night from his son, Scott.
> My father Bill Wells avidly repaired and rebuilt Wheeler and Wilson
> sewing machines, and I believe he was an active member of your
> community. Dad died at home on April 9. His public-facing
> obituary may be found at
>
> and on Facebook.
> He really enjoyed that pastime, and we often spoke of it, down
> to the technical challenges of repair and renovation. I didn't
> want the people he encountered to wonder what become of him.
> Sincerely yours,
> Scott Wells
I smiled to see Bill's obituary photo, posed with two No.9-class machines.
