Andy Posted January 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Hi Everyone, This is an incredibly sad day for all of us, who've had the honor & pleasure of knowing Bill. I'm so upset and in shock right now, that I'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face. I'm unable to write the tribute that Bill dearly deserves, but it will come shortly. My sincere condolonces to Bill's Wife Diane, His Son Doug, and Bill's Family & Friends... and everyone at Azamara. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Rare eroller Posted January 5, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I just read some very sad news on a Facebook page I belong to that Bill Leiber passed away last night at around 7:30pm, with his wife Diane beside him and his son Doug at his bedside. Apparently he was under the case of Hospice. I can't be certain that this is the same Bill Leiber, but I believe it is because the news is from a Seabourn San Francisco Alumni Facebook group and I believe that Azamara Bill also worked in the past for Seabourn in San Francisco. I know myself and many others will greatly miss Bill's assistance, charm, generosity, and general helpfulness on the Azamara message board. He was truly an Ambassador for the Azamara brand and also for the cruise industry in general. May he rest in peace. When I read this news on Facebook I was hoping it was a different Bill, but deep down I knew it was Azamara Bill. I guess Bill was far more ill than any of us had realized. Such sad news and a shock as well, since I think we all expected him to return once he got better. My heartfelt condolences and best wishes to all Bill's family and friends.

Willow1686 Posted January 5, 2014 #22 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think that anyone who ever read Bill's contributions would recognise the extraordinary value he brought to this forum; his advocacy for Azamara was always rigorously truthful as well as wise.
