HOW GREATLY SADDENED I WAS TO HEAR OF BILLS PASSING, I REMEMBER BILL AT WORK, AND OFF DUTY GREAT FELLOW!I REMEMBER BILL AND GEORGE MOFFAT COMING INTO SOME OF THE WORST CALLS BACKING US UP AND FEELING PROUD TO SEE THE BIG GUYS COME IN!IT WAS ALWAYS FUNNY TO HEAR THE ELDERLY PATIENTS COMMENT "MY YOU BOYS ARE BIG!" I ALSO ENJOYED BILLS COMPANY OFF DUTY, GREAT FELLA NEVER TOO BUSY TO SEE HOW YOU WERE DOING. BILL MAY YOU BE AT PEACE, AND BE IN THE COMFORT YOU HAVE GIVEN SO MANY OTHERS. WAYNE BANKS.

He was Willy, Billy, the Dangler, and the Raven; he was my friend and my rock in raising my sons Jeff and Danny. Bill showed us the adventure and beauty of the great outdoors. We walked and hiked and drove many miles together and he gave us good memories and many many laughs...
Thankyou Bill, for all the good times and the help through the hard ones. May you finally rest.
With love from the Cowichan Queen.

My condolences to the family and friends of my cousin Billy. Fond are the memories of hide and seek with Billy and Ritchie at the house on Dallas Road. Although, as is the way of growing up, we never saw each other except at family funerals, I carry fond memories of childhood times. Billy has not really left us for we carry him in our heart always. Gayle Munz (nee Colley), daughter of Eugene and Lucille.

With deepest sympathy. Our prayers go out to his daughters and grandchildren. May Bill rest in peace.

We called cousin Bill "The Gentle Giant". He was a gentle soul in a strong body. I enjoyed his humor, his enthusiasm for life, his intelligence and admired his obvious love of his children and adoration of his grandchildren. There is a special place in heaven for people like Bill- I know he is finding comfort in God's embrace. May he rest in peace.
With love and sadness, Cousin Janet

I knew my cousin but little since he was a happy young boy. It was good to meet him again as a man even though it was at Auntie Bunny's funeral.
Betty and I send our condolences and love to all the family, wherever they have spread to. May God's light of joy shine upon Bill. John William Colley (son of Eugene Vivyan Colley)

To my wonderful Bill. I loved you so very much and we had so many plans for our future life together.We had plans for many more trips in the camper and plans to buy a small ranch up north to live there in the summer and return to Victoria in the winter. I will always remember your totally pure heart and how you gave your love so freely to me, to your devoted daughters, your grandchildren, to Richard and Kitty, to Helen and Stan, to Evelyn, to Aunt Audrey and Uncle George, to Maxine, to Harold...

How saddened I was to hear of 'Uncle' Bill's passing. My heart goes out to his daughters, and grandchildren. May you finally rest in peace.
