I am so very sorry to pass along such sad news to everyone.
Bill Farmer ran the Flimsies Railfan Newsmagazine phone hotline back in the early 1990s from the Los Angeles CA area.

A note was just posted on ‘another forum’ that Bill Farmer died Thursday from cancer. I’m sure all the folks here have probably encountered Bill at one time or another.

Here is the mail that her sister send to us…
One of my best friends without doubt… you will
be miss but never forgoted.
Hello, everyone–
Some sad news… Bill Farmer passed away last night, Thursday, July 27
at 6:53pm. Bill’s sister Pat Ward was at his side and said that Bill
wasn’t in any pain at the time of his death. Most of you know that he
was fighting a hard battle with cancer these past months. We’re happy
that he was able to make a visit to Train Mountain in Chiloquin, Oregon
a few weeks ago for their Triennial Meet, a trip that Bill had been
looking forward to for a long time.
A copy of the obituary follows below. Thanks to everyone for your kind
thoughts & prayers and for being a friend to Bill.
Sincerely,
Pat Ward
