Like many of you, Bill had touched our life like no other. His generosity and sense of humour are the two greatest quialities he had carried forever , his thoughtfulness makes you feel being cared for, his wittiness always put a smile on your face...What a life journey he had, he had touched so many lives with his very special way.

We were privileged to be able to be a part of his life, share in his love and support of Indigenous art, and enjoy his visits and challenging conversations.
