We go way back Bill - you and Lennie and all of us playing as kids, our mothers setting us up to go to the sea cadet dances (sorry I hid in the washroom cause I was too scared to dance with you) drinking in the saloons when we got a bit older seeing you around the neighbourhood and town having our old time BS. You're a good sport. You're missed but we'll meet again. As ever Fran

Bill was the ultimate big brother. We shared many good times, a lot of jokes and some heartache. He will truly be missed by all who knew him well.

It was a pleasure working with Bill as he took care of downrigger repairs for us while at Island Outfitters.
Always friendly, we would speak at least once a week with updates, suggestions and any clarifications needed on a specific product or repair.
A quality man doing quality work.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Bill's family and his many friends.
Now Bill, all you need to do is.......
.......Get the net ready!
God Bless you Bill.
