Dear Marie. It was only by accident that I learned of Bill's passing and, although the years have passed so quickly, I feel that I have lost such a close and caring friend. The support that you and Bill always offered amid the laughter that we always shared are treasures now, and I am so thankful for having been a part of your lives.
Much, much love, John and Lita Isham

My name is John Moir, the youngest of 5, who grew up in Sudbury and have fond memories of Bill. My brother Bob and sister Barbara attended LSRHS with Bill. I remember Bill as being fun-loving and with a unique sense of humor, similar to my bro Tim who we lost in 1972. My entire family was stunned to hear of Bill's passing and send our sincere sympathy and love. John Moir

I haven't seen Bill for many years, but I also worked at Russell's with Bill when I was in high school in the late sixties. My sister Kathy was his sister Sue's best friend, and still is. I remember his gentle ways, humor, and I know that he will be missed. My condolences to his family and friends for the loss of a wonderful human being.

Although it has been a long time since I worked with Bill and Marie at the garden center, I was terribly saddened to hear of Bill's passing. My heart goes out to all those who new and loved Bill.
