The Godfather Of Blogs Has Passed Away

The Godfather of Blogs on the Eastern Shore, the honorable Bill Duvall peacefully passed away this morning.

Bill was the very first Blogger on the Shore with one of the most creative Blogs ever seen called, "Duvafiles".

Bill was a very creative local attorney respected in his profession and is survived by his Wife Sylvia, son Richard Duvall and another son in Hawaii.

Many feel we are losing all of the fine people who defined Wicomico County. Rest In Peace Bill Duvall. You have been missed yet will be remembered in the Blogosphere.

Bill truly enjoyed challenging the local Main Stream Media helping to define Blogs today.

Thanks for your tribute for this special person. He will be missed.

Willie G was a "one of" in every way.

We should remember him most for harassing, exposing and unseating the former liberal elite in Wicomico County -- Henry "Godfather" Parker, Vic ("the slick") Laws, "Prince Phillip" Tilghman, "General" Tony Sarbanes.

What is unfortunate: Bill's health failed before he could cause the downfall of Rick Pollitt, but that is more the fault of the local Republican party.

He was also responsible, along with this blog, for the downfall of Barrie Tilghman and the "Dream Team" of "Mikey" Dunn and "Bubba" Comegys.

RIP, Bill

Duvall was a very unique and interesting person. He was the same every time you met him. A true man to his word and an outstanding attorney. Downtown will miss him.

Joe:

Bill cut Ricky Pollitt too much slack because of Bill's realings with Judge Pollitt, who was a fine person.

"Little" Ricky is ridiculous.

Wicomico will miss him. He has made a huge difference.

I'll never forget the time that Bill entertained (including Jack & Coke) the FBI agents that Barrie sicced on him when he exposed her on the "Duvafiles."

Besides all of Bill's political influence he needs to be recognized as the brilliant attorney that he was. Amazing!

Somebody needs to step to the plate now to help us rid of trash like Rick Pollitt

Gosh, the terms he coined, like "House of Lords," LOL! And some nice ones, like "Lady Campbell."

He stuck up for "the Maulers."

I only wish he had left his blog up for historical purposes.

RIP, Mr. D. Some of us knew you long before, some of us got to know you through Duvafiles. Either way, you told it like it was!
