Condolence: Bill was as nice a man as I have seen. He lived a great life and was always positive and appreciated every moment.

Condolence: Dear Pat and family. So sorry to hear the news about Bill. It must have been a terrible shock. He and I (Dan) used to have good conversations at the reunions and it was clear he was a really nice person. Just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you all.

Condolence: Our family would like to send you our deepest sympathy. Bill was a great man and we enjoyed his beautiful smile.He always made you feel welcome when you came into the store, like Cindy does now. There are a lot of beautiful memories of him and I know you all will keep Bill fully alive in your hearts. Chris, Dianne, Jason, and Tim Olinski Elora,Ontario

Condolence: Pat and family
I was really saddened when Gil Taves phoned me on Tuesday to tell me that Bill had died. It's only a few short weeks ago when we were enjoying a meal together at the annual Musicians' banquet at the Concordia club.

Bill will be sadly missed in many circles. It was my sincere pleasure to know him. A fine gentleman and a great guy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you celebrate his life and ponder so many happy memories.

Tom Watson

Condolence: To Pat, John, Johanne, Pam, Dave, Jay, and Cindy and their families.

We moved to the lake four years ago and as I spent a lot of time working outdoors I had the opportunity to have many visits with Bill as he would be out for his many daily walks with Sandy, or as he was out looking for Sandy on one of her many unannounced departures. These occasions were a testament to Bill's good nature and patience as he set about finding her and taking her home. We had many conversations ranging from his love of music to his latest state of the art hearing aids. I'm sure when working in the yard and here someone on the road I will look up expecting to see Bill and Sandy at the end of the drive way. Cathie and I will miss Bill and our thoughts are with all of you.

Clarke and Cathie

Condolence: We will miss Bill and Sanday on their walks down Lightning Point Rd. Bill would always stop and chat for awhile and was one of the finest gentlemen I have known. We are thinking of you Pat and send you our thoughts and are sorry for your loss. Pat and Ted Stone

Condolence: I am so saddened to hear about my dear friend Bill's passing. Bill and Anne lived across the street from us for a decade and we became great friends because we both played drums and loved beer. Bill use to say "I've never met a beer I didn't like." Bill was the kindest person I have ever met. Bill and I spent hundreds of hours together laughing and having so much fun. He loved rides in my 37 Buick. Bill and I loved doing Saturday afternoon jazz at the Lancaster house and he played drums right up till New Years Eve. He was a long standing respected local musician. He just loved playing the drums. My fond memories of Bill will be with me forever. He definitely left his mark as a very caring and thoughtful person. My most sincerest sympathies to his wife Pat and family.

Condolence: To Pat and Family; We are so shocked and sorry to hear of Bill's sudden passing. We will miss his friendly smile around Queen's Heights and our great conversations with him as our neighbour.

Sincerely, Jack & Marilyn Graham

Condolence: We wanted to extend our sympathies to Pat and family, upon this untimely loss of Bill. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Condolence: I don't recall ever seeing Bill without the smile he always wore.
