"Sad to report that Bill Thomas passed away last night due to his recent cancer. He was a loving and generous man that contributed a lot to his family and our group. As a long time PSK knapper we will all miss him after many years of friendship with him and his late wife Judy. He was a great knife and blade knapper and we enjoyed sharing arts at the PSK knapins and digging rocks with him." Joan Urata
