Sending our deepest condolences to Meghan, Josh, Sawyer, Carol, Chrissy, JP & family. My memories of Bill are mostly from high school, when he was that "good looking" big brother of my best friend. He had an amazing smile & a laugh that I can still hear today. So much of him is in Josh & Sawyer. I have loved watching them grow up on Facebook. My heart goes out to you all. I hope you find some peace in knowing he is now at peace and in all the incredible things you did for him over the past 6 years. He was certainly loved by you all. May his memory always be a blessing to you. Melissa, Lorne, Hayden & Eli
Bill became a staple in our son William’s life. The Eighteen’s have become a second family to William and we will miss the stories that William would bring home about Bill, including William’s stories of Bill’s Pop Figure collection. When we asked William how he felt about Bill’s passing the only words he spoke was “Bill loves his family so much. I don’t know anyone who loves his family like Bill loves his”. This speaks mountains about the type of man Bill was. We are honoured that William had Bill as a role model and we cherish the moments that they had together. Megan & Boys we send you our love and know that we are always here for you.
The world is certainly a lesser place with the passing of this great man. My cousin Bill was a very kind, gentle and decent person. Even as children he had a very calming way about him. We were very close when we were younger, Bill was more like a brother to me, he was my best friend for many happy years. Those memories I will truly cherish forever. My heartfelt condolences to Megan, Josh, Sawyer Carol, Chrissy, Doug and Denise. And to everyone else who were lucky enogh to call this wonderful man a friend. Billy, I love you, thank you for the memories, you will be in our hearts forever.
