jay helfert said:Is he still alive? I haven't heard anything about him in over 20 years. What about Bill Lee, a helluva guy?
Buckwheat, had a handful of heart attacks in the 70s and early 80s. He had a fatal one in the mid 80s. I just got off the phone with Bill Stack. I called him because I didn’t know whether Bill Lee was still alive or not. Bill said he wasn’t sure either. I will know for sure in about 3 hours, when Bobby Headrick opens his pool room here. I will let you know what he says. I haven’t seen Bill Lee since 1979 when Stack and I moved to Chicago. You are right, Jay. Bill Lee, was/is a wonderful person with a ton of heart.
