For those of you that did not know Bill he was a veteran gamer of many years only over the last few years having entered the online club world.

He was a great friend to those in the Panzer club and took many a member under his wing and tried to help them do the best that they could in the clubs.

We will sorely miss his kind words and wit in these years to come. Remember to stop by the Panzer club to see the comments of those members that knew him best.

Unable to make Tiller Con II because of scheduling he battled illness for years and it finally caught up with him this week.

He is survived by a loving wife and family who will miss him dearly. Remember them in your prayers this week.

Bill Brockman became a very good friend to me , over the years. . And i got him to join the NWC last Christmas with the French Army, I done his training.

Very sorry to hear this most unpleasent news, sadly enough our community grows smaller.

May he find eternal rest and some peace.
