My heartfelt sympathy to Lynne and family. I will always remember special times with Bill in years past. His energy and enthusiasm for Hamilton and Festival of Friends has been remembered often over the years. I served as an Alderman in Hamilton from 1980-88 and first met Bill thru his father Mayor Bill and mother Rose when we were the new faces on council in 1980. My life has been enriched having known Bill and the Powell family. God's Blessing and Peace to the family.

May Bill be inscribed in God's "Book of Life" as a stellar individual, long time acquaintance and friend. We are all better for having known you.

My deepest sympathy to Bill's family and all his festive friends. He was the great encourager. He encouraged everyone with his passion and, of course, his undaunted courage.
Please accept our most profound admiration and gratitude. Marion, Joanna and Hugh Fraser
