I am sorry to hear of your father’s death. I met Bill through Masonry as he was part of the Alumni Degree Team that conferred the Fellowcraft degree on me in 1984, and even as he rose to be Grand Master he always greeted me in a warm and friendly manner when ever we met – he truly had an amazing memory. I am glad that I had a chance to know him. I hope that happy memories and the love of family and friends will help support you during this sad time.
To Arden, the rest of your family, and Betty, we wish to offer our deepest sympathy for your loss
May the memories of your time with him remind you that he will always be with you

I’m very saddened by his passing, but I’m certain he’s smiling down on all of us and would cheer us up if he could.. My thoughts and prayers and hugs go out to the family.

My mother and father, Bernardine and Fred Mitchell, late of Fergus, ON, were great friends of Bill’s mom and dad for many years. My dad and Bill’s dad worked for the CPR in the Toronto, Chapleau and Sudbury, ON. areas. Bill was also my dentist for several years in London, ON. The two families kept in touch over the decades. With kind personal regards, Sybil B. Rynor and family of Stratford, ON.
I am sorry to hear of Dr. “P”s passing. I was his first assistant many eons ago when he started his dental practice and we kept in touch sporatically. He was hungry for life and lived it to the fullest. I’m sorry I didnt’ know about his death until now. Farewell ‘Boss’
