My sympathies to the family on hearing of Bill's passing. He was my family's plumber for many years in the 70's and 80's. He was good friends with my late parents Norman and Catherine (Mick and Katie as most knew them by) Zoske. RIP Mr Zachow. God grant you eternal rest and perpetual light shine upon you
