Very sorry to hear this sad news. I sat in on his History of Photography course at A.S.U. back in '86 while I was on a sabbatical from teaching in Toronto. I enjoyed the course and the wonderful, quirky man very much. I will also miss his insightful ruminations in Lens Work. Rest in Peace, Bill.
When I was 16 I thought my father the stupidest man in the world; when I reached 21, I was astounded by how much he had learned in just 5 years!

I loved his writing, he will be missed.

Very sorry to hear this, he'll surely be missed. I never met him but I thought he was one of the best things about LensWork.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
His lectures in his photo history courses at Arizona State University are some of my fondest memories of grad school. Bill's wit and wisdom will surely be missed.

Oh...this is terrible. I very much enjoyed reading his EndNotes. He will be missed.
Some fascination material on his website:

We've lost an intelligent man with a quick wit and an insightful mind. And a friend...
"I love my Verito lens, but I always have to sharpen everything in Photoshop..."
One of the last giants of photohistory has fallen.
He was insightful and frank in a way lacking today.
Go in peace.

We have lost a true photographic scholar... one with insight, intelligence and wit. I am a proud student of Bill Jay. He brought so much to photography and photo history.
