I met Bill V about 15 years ago at a small place called Diamond Lil's in Roselle IL (later Brewstir's, later Teddy B's, currently closed.) Before that, he was a regular at a place called the Chicago City Limits in Schaumburg. For the last several years, he played at the Chicago Loop in Streamwood. Other than trivia and schmoozing at the bar, I think what Bill V most enjoyed was going to plays in and around Chicago. Many friends accompanied him to a lot of area theaters over the years.
Bill V was a very good trivia player, and spent a lot of time at it over the years, leaving with 60,384,000 PP points as of his last game on November 16th. It will be strange and sad to play trivia without seeing Bill V's name on the board. I will miss him.
Goodbye, Bill V.

Bill V. was always at the top of the stats in the Buzztime bars that I frequented.
I only knew Bill since 2012. When I went to other bars, I would look for the one top player & would call them the "Bill V of (insert bar name)".
Going to miss the friendly competition, though usually I wasn't up to Bill's standards.
