Bill lived next door to my parents in Narvon. He and I spent many days sitting on the front porch talking about everything from music to the labor movement. Bill had a great personality and was always a plessure to be around and talk with.
Although I haven't seen him in many years, I've thought of him often. He truely was one of the good guys.

Pat and I bowled with Bill and Flo and several of their kids for many years at the old Ingleside Bowling Alley. They were such a fun couple. I will always remember the fun picnics our bowling crowd had at Hibernia Park. My condolences to Bob, Barry, Rodger, and Debbie - your Dad was a great guy!

Debbie and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I only met your dad a few times and I will tell you this those few times were fun. He was a fun man who made many people laugh. He will be missed by many.
Losing a parent is one of the hardest thing a child has to go through. Just think when he was point upwards, he wanted to be reunited with your mom again. He is now in a better place and no more suffering. You and your family can also now be comfort knowing of his peace. If there is anything I can do, please let me know I am thinking of you at this hard time of your life.
