RODNEY BINGENHEIMER WHEN I CALLED HIM, DROPPED THE PHONE IN SHOCK AND SAID "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? BILL WAS "MR. INNOCENT" AND SO NICE AND I HAVE TO LET THIS SINK IN". RODNEY AKA RODNEY ON THE ROQ LATER CALLED ME BACK AND WAS JUST DEVASTATED HE SPOKE OF HOW YOU WERE A SCHOOL TEACHER AND SOMETIMES A MOTORCYCLE COP AND IS DEDICATING THIS SUNDAY'S RADIO SHOW ON 106.7 KROQ F.M.

Olly Orange Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Me, Olly Orange, bass player of Diagnosis:, Dutch member of White Flag (together with Toine " Brutus"), General of the Dutch " White Flag Army", am deeply sorry and touched with the news that our dearest friend and musical inspiration, William "Bill" Bartell, Alias Pat Fear, has past away. Out of the hearts of all friends and army members all over Europe, I would like to express our deepest respect to Williams closest friends and family with this terribly loss. To all US White Flag members I wish all the best, especially to Tracy. Bill, you will always be a part of the music I will perform. With all my love and respect, Olaf "Olly" Eikelenboom.
