It is my sad duty to tell you that Bill Pearce of the Ranger Bill episode Christmas Pageant with Bill Pearce and also announcer for Ranger Bill went home to his Lord some time in the night between Tuesday Feb. 23 and Wednesday Feb 24. Bill was 87.
Bill will be missed by his many fans from over 25 years with Moody Radio as well as his many years on Nightsounds Radio with Bill Pearce. I understand that Bill passed away at a nursing home in Xenia, Ohio.
I will post his obituary as soon as I can locate it.
