Yes, Bill White (Ohioboy) has passed. There was a single vehicle accident that, according to the coroner's report, was the result of heart failure. He had met up with 3 riders from OH-STOC in Zanesville and they were riding the long way back when the unthinkable happened.
Bill was riding at the tail of the pack of 4, on a flowing, sweeping road on a beautiful Ohio morning when his heart stopped and he crashed. The other riders did not witness this, but returned within minutes after noticing that he was no-longer behind them.
A motorist passing by happened to be a nurse and she and the riders began administering CPR. A squad arrived and performed additional steps. Every effort was made, but it was not to be. Bill died at the scene.
We know now that nothing "wrong" happened and those involved did all they could, and more. And Bill left doing something he loved.
As heartbreaking as this has been, it is once again a reminder to us all to live our lives to the fullest, love one another, and realize that none of us know how close to the end of our time we are.
Ride on, Bill. We will ride together again some day!
