I am sorry for the passing of Bill. I will always remember Bill for his work ethic and long long hours at his business Jasper Tank Manufacturing, and Beaverlodge Museum Hotel. When Bill would work late he always liked to come home to his favorite snack of white toast with butter and rye with water to chase it down. He will be especially missed by his grandchildren, Shawn, Tanya and Riley.
