    I am really saddened by the passing of my “uncle Bill”.. he was always a very giving man and a true gentleman and proved that blood did not make you a relative, love it… will miss you xo.

    Dear Shirley and family,
    Please accept my condolences for your loss. Bill was a wonderful neighbor who shared many garden tips of which many were followed through on. It was always a pleasure to see Bill out walking his dog. The neighborhood has already changed visibly and in spirit since Bill succumbed to illness. I will miss him. Shirley, please call if there is anything I can do or drop by for a coffee – my door is always open.

    Warm regards and deepest sympathy,
    Sue

    My sympathy goes out to the family. I worked with Jan as TVCC and Bill always joined us at social events. He was good to keep in contact for some time after Jan’s death. He was a very caring man. Joyce

    Losing a parent is always one of the most painful experiences a person goes through in a lifetime. My heart goes out to you Peter and your family during this very difficult time in your life. I know you and your father were especially close. I am travelling so I’m not able to attend the service today but you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. You have my deepest condolences.

    Dear Shirley ,and family.
    Having cut Bills hair for many years ,I always enjoyed Bills spirit and sense of humour. As you know Bill did not have a lot of hair,but he always insisted on paying full price he was a class gentleman. I glad I was able to help out at the house the last few months.
    Sincerely walterPayne
