To ALL:

I'm contacting you on behalf of Anita Fuss, Bill Fuss's wife.

Unfortunately Bill suffered Aneurysm on July 5th. He is still in the hospital.

His wife Anita requires your assistance, if you know any details of some bulk JFET's that Bill had purchased through usbid, please email Anita:

:cop: private email address removed :cop:

Bill is a dear friend and invaluable wealth of knowledge for those who know him on diyaudio. Please keep him in prayer for a speedy recovery.

Tinitus,
BIll ordered appx 800 Jfets (last he told me) that turned out to be counterfeit. It just so happens, he realized this the day he had his aneurysm. I'll be sure to pass on your concerns as well as your desire to relieve them of the burden of the Jfets he ordered.

ouch, sorry to hear it happened like that
Bill must have felt pretty awfull

and sorry to say, but counterfeit ain't worth much
maybe an expert can get something out of them, I don't know
and I'm not an expert
but I did have personal contact with Bill, when he started on this
asking me where to post etc
it hurts
 
My prayers for Bill and his family . i was just thinking yesterday that i hadn't heard from him in awhile and that i should give him a buzz .

my knowledge of the fet situation is that after the first batch (the one's that he and i both got ) ran out , he'd bought a second batch of just 2sj74's and they turned out to be fakes .

he made satisfactory arrangements to return those . then he found another batch which he was pretty sure to be real and was waiting for those . that was the last i'd heard .

if there's anything i can do to help out please let me know .

:cop: Bengali I removed the email address you posted in order to avoid harvesting of that email address by spambots. Can you provide an alternate means of contact via PM or repost the email address in a non spambot readable format.. Thanks...

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for removing the email address. I will forward this link to his family so they can contact the forum members directly if needed.

From my understanding, they are trying to recover the funds for the counterfeit parts.

The latest update, Bill is not doing well :( In consideration of his family,
I prefer not to disclose the details unless they wish.

Thanks to every with their readiness to help support Bill and his family.
 
I am very saddened to hear this Bengali . thing is that Bill knew enough to cover himself by using paypal only . therefore they'll need access to his paypal acct . his password .

then they'll have to file a complaint and back it up with the correct information , the measurements Bill made to arrive at that conclusion . i believe Bill had made the jig from Borbely's papers that could measure pretty much everything , not just idss .

again , if there's anyway i can help .....

Hi,

I'm posting this on behalf of Bill's son, Bill Fuss III.

Hello all.
I hope this is the right area to post this, mods please move if necessary.
I regret to inform the DIY community of Bill Fuss' passing this
morning around 1:00am.
I know that he was a pretty active member of these forums, and made
quite a few friends during his time here (as well as pissed some
people off too I'm sure).

He talked very highly of the forums, even to people in the real world
who had no idea what he was talking about. I have been in contact with
a few people from here that he has had quite a bit of interaction
with.

On the evening of July 5th he suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm and
was airlifted to a hospital in Tampa Florida. He slowly started to
recover and seemed to be making progress. He was nowhere near the man
that he used to be but he was still with us, and over the days was
starting to remember more and more. He didn't know his family or
friends anymore, but oddly remembered he had to ship some transistors
down south somewhere.

On Monday July 18th he suffered another catastrophic bleed in his
brain that he ultimately would not recover from. He was declared brain
dead Wednesday morning, and we (his family) decided it was best for
him (and us) to allow him to go.
He went peacefully and pain free, in the hospital with his family by his side.

Again I know how much he loved conversing with many of you on here,
and I feel he will be missed on these forums. I also feel that his
cyber friends deserve to know what has happened in his recent absence.

Thank you for posting this news Bengali. I'm sure that taking time to post about the loss of your friend it is a difficult task, but it shows your love and respect for Bill and I'm sure that he would be warmed by the thought that a friend took this duty of reporting his passing upon themselves.

My deepest sympathies to you and Bill's family and many friends.
