Bill Van Dine passed away today after a long battle with cancer. Bill held
a distinction which will never be eclipsed. Bill played fastptich for 17
seasons, including appearances in two world tournaments. Known for his wry
sense of humor and comical wit, Van Dine kept the sportswriters on their
toes with his timly quips. For NINE consecutive years (1961 1970) he was
the tournament director (spelled "heart and soul") of the International
Softball Congress World Tournament when event was held in Rock Island,
Illinois. He also served the ISC as Florida Area Commissioner from 1989 -
1993. He was inducted into the ISC Hall of Fame in 1992. Retiring in the
late 1980's to the Sunshine State, Bill and his wife Marie moved back
"home" to the northern Illinois. Funeral arrangements and calling hours
will be announced at a later date.
Mike Van Dine II, Grandson
