To the family of Bill Steimer

Our deepest sympathy to all of you. He was a great man and always a joy to talk to. May many fond memories and the love and friendship of family and friends comfort you during this difficult time.

My deepest and heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of Bill. I knew Bill when my husband and I were residents of the Legacy at Parklands. He was loved and admired by all who knew him. He really loved farming and was an inspiration to all of who had any doubts about slowing down as we grew older.
