R.I.P. Bill and our hearts go out to the family...

May he rest in peace. If anyone is in touch with his family, please send our deepest condolences.

 

He was very helpful to me when the Azamara web site locked out my reservation.

We'll miss you Bill....you were such a help to many Azamara fans.

Hi Everyone,

 

This is an incredibly sad day for all of us, who've had the honor & pleasure of knowing Bill.

 

I'm so upset and in shock right now, that I'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face. I'm unable to write the tribute that Bill dearly deserves, but it will come shortly.

 

My sincere condolonces to Bill's Wife Diane, His Son Doug, and Bill's Family & Friends... and everyone at Azamara. Rest in peace my dear friend.

A sad loss. Our sympathy to Bill's family

Bill was a true hero in every sense. His calmness, sensible words, and cool authority will be sadly missed.

I raise my glass to a great man.

 

RIP.

I have posted on the other thread, but I just want to repeat what sad news this is for us all on the Azamara forum. Bill will be so missed here and my sympathies go out to his family on this very sad day.

 

RIP Bill.

I am very shocked and sorry to hear about Bill. My thoughts and condolences are with his family at this sad time.

I just read some very sad news on a Facebook page I belong to that Bill Leiber passed away last night at around 7:30pm, with his wife Diane beside him and his son Doug at his bedside. Apparently he was under the case of Hospice.

 

I can't be certain that this is the same Bill Leiber, but I believe it is because the news is from a Seabourn San Francisco Alumni Facebook group and I believe that Azamara Bill also worked in the past for Seabourn in San Francisco.

 

I know myself and many others will greatly miss Bill's assistance, charm, generosity, and general helpfulness on the Azamara message board. He was truly an Ambassador for the Azamara brand and also for the cruise industry in general.

 

May he rest in peace.

 

 

When I read this news on Facebook I was hoping it was a different Bill, but deep down I knew it was Azamara Bill.

 

I guess Bill was far more ill than any of us had realized. Such sad news and a shock as well, since I think we all expected him to return once he got better.

 

My heartfelt condolences and best wishes to all Bill's family and friends.

My deepest condolences to Bill's family. I feel like our Azamara forum has lost a shining star. He will be missed so much.

[Spursgirl]

As others have said Bill's wisdom and kindness will be missed by us all.

 

I hope Andy or Larry Pimentel will be able to tell Bill's family how valued he was here at an appropriate time.

 

Rest in peace dear friend.

[Wandering Words]

Sorry to hear this sad news - Bill will be greatly missed by many

[mare s.]

I too would like to extend

my deepest sympathy to Bill's family. He will be missed greatly by so many.

The Azamara "family" has lost a special person.

 

Deepest sympathy. Thoughts and prayers are with Bill's wife, son and extended family.

[Phxazzcruisers]

Our condolences to Bill's family. What sad sad news. He was always a trusted voice on Cruise Critic. I hope he is peacefully cruising in the beyond. So very sorry

[mikechass]

So sorry to read this.

Please know that Bill's passing will be felt far and wide.

Condolences to his family, friends and all those on these boards.

Heaven has gained another angel in Bill.

[Willow1686]

I think that anyone who ever read Bill's contributions would recognise the extraordinary value he brought to this forum; his advocacy for Azamara was always rigorously truthful as well as wise. He will be greatly missed.

[4cats4me]

To Mr Leiber's family and friends, I am sorry for your loss. My heartfelt sympathies to you all :(

[Andy]

As others have said Bill's wisdom and kindness will be missed by us all.

 

I hope Andy or Larry Pimentel will be able to tell Bill's family how valued he was here at an appropriate time.

 

Rest in peace dear friend.

 

You can be sure the message will be personally delivered in the near future.

[need2cruisesoon]

Here is an article from Seatrader outlining Bill's career in the cruise industry.

Rest in peace Bill.
