Bill was a wonderful leader and mentor at George Brown College. His vision and compassion made a difference to countless students and staff. He helped shape the values of programming and ways to engage and support learning.
I feel fortunate to have worked with him in the delivery of the program that he developed for adults who had experiences of alcoholism and addiction in their lives. The training and coaching that he provided continues to influence my work.
He was wise, caring, and had a wonderful laugh that punctuated challenging moments in just the right way.
