Bill Aucoin - R.I.P.

[Phil Elliott]

An open letter to Bill....

Bill you are dearly missed by all the fans, and friends like myself that were fortunate to actually get to know you. Whether you were telling me a "off the record" account from the good ole days, or whether you were simply calling to check on me I am truly blessed to have had you in my life. I was always telling you to cut back on those "Cuban" cigars that they were not good for your health. Low and behold such an ugly and horrible disease catching you within it's grips. I wish I would've had one more conversation wth you to tell you how much you have meant to us all. I was planning to call you this week to discuss you coming back to appear at our next Atlanta KISS Expo in October. I'm sure you would've said yes. Now I'm left to say what if? William, you were one of a kind! As I told you once, I told you everytime I saw you....without you there would be no KISS, and without you I would not have had the opportunity to enjoy my many adventures with you and KISS over the years! So, THANK YOU for being part of ALL of our lives. You life was a success! God Bless Roman, Janet, & Betty, Phil E.

Without question if Bill Aucoin had not been the manager of KISS there would have been no KISS. I wonder how many others would finance a tour on his personal credit card?

I never had the privledge to meet Mr Aucoin but he has my utmost respect and he should get the same from all KISS fans everywhere.

RIP Bill...you gave us The Hottest Band In The World and made my life a happier one because of it.
