We were so sorry to hear of your Dads passing. We lived directly across the street from Bill & Peg for 15 years, and shared among other things a love of dogs and the occasional glass of wine. Over the years we and our dogs explored every side street and park within walking and driving distance! We danced with Bill & Peg at her memorable 70th birthday party which Bill went to so much trouble to organize. We were lucky enough to spend Xmas with them at their cottage, and we got to know their family. Those 15 years have left us with many memories.
Please accept our condolences.

To Bill's Family,
Reyna and I are so grateful that we met your Dad and had the opportunity to enjoy some cherished good times with him these recent few months. We will miss his booming voice, his quick smile and his cheerful laugh. We will also miss helping him with his mission - to give his four legged friend Gus as charmed a life as possible after a rough beginning from his previous owner. Your Dad was a Class Act!
Our deepest sympathies to you.
Reyna and Jerry

I was very sorry to hear of Uncle Bill's passing. I will always remember the great times I spent with your family many years ago on Golfdale (especially your pool!). Your parents were always so good to me. Cousin Ann.

To Bill's Family
So sorry to hear of your Dad's passing, what a remarkable man. I knew Bill for many years while I worked for Dr. O'Byrne before my retirement. He was a true gentleman and was always so kind. He has now gone to join your Mom of whom he spoke of so affectionally and whom he missed so much. His smile is something no one will forget. My thought and prayers are with each and every one of you
