Dear Corber Family,
I did some painting and odd jobs for Bill last fall and winter. Albeit for a brief time,I considered him a good friend. Hw would always be so interested in my family and what schools my children were attending. He always preached to me to never stop learning. Please accept my belated condolences. Gord Raza and Famiy.

Dear Tzippy and Michael,
Although it has now been 16 years since my mother Violet Abbey's death and more than ten since I last spoke with Bill, I have always held him in the highest esteem. He was of enormous help when my father Irving passed away in 1987 and continued to be an anchor for me in the ten years that followed during which he assisted Violet.
This must be a tremendous loss for you both. He was a true Mensch.
Sincerest condolences,
David Abbey

Tzippu and Michael,
I grew up at 441 Prince Albert and have truly wonderful memories of your father. He always had the most wonderful spirit and was a true inspiration of how to live life. He always spoke so proudly of all his children, grandchildren and his great grandson.
Prince Albert Avenue will be missing this wonderful man.
Thinking of you all,

Tzippy and Michael,
I am very saddened by the news of your father's passing. I know he was a devoted father to you both, and remember many warm family times at your house in Westmount. He was an extraordinary human being, well travelled and learned, and yet so hamishe and down to earth. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
