Marianne, Allison, and Mike; What a great example of a great husband, father and hockey /baseball dad he is. Bill and Doris spent many hours watching the hockey practices at Jackson's. Bill always made sure every player had a ride home before he and Mike would leave the rink. Love his Queen's Wave! We'll miss you, Bill, but we do have these great memories of you smiling as you watched your kids activities all around town. Woody, Doris & Will
