William Bruce AUCHTERLONIE

I had no idea Bill has passed away. Heather please accept my sincere condolences. I knew Bill from my mid teens and remember him playing music at Bruce's house where a group of us met and danced each week. My funniest memory is of Bill and my then husband, Mike Maisonneuve walking together up Kennedy Road late one evening singing American Pie together. I met up with Bill again years later at his shop in Niagara on the Lake and had the chance to catch up. Memories will always be with me and shared with my family. He was a very kind and special man. Sleep well Bill.

I am very sorry to hear of Bill´s passing. I had the privilege of working with him during my United Way days.
My deepest condolences to Heather and the family. He will truly be missed.

So sad to hear of Bills passing. I listened to him on Buy, Sell and Trade many years ago. Then had the extreme pleasure meeting him many years later with UW, where he was very kind to me. He had great vision of getting things done. Most recently I met with him as he developed a year of my stars....
My dearest condolences, he will truly be missed.

Dear Heather, I am so sorry to hear that Bill has passed away. I have so many fond memories of Bill during my CJRN, and 105.1 THE RIVER days, especially the staff Christmas parties, he was definitely the life of the party, With the love and support of family and friends I hope you are finding some comfort. In friendship and Sincere Sympathy. Irene Bradnam I hope you can feel my hug.

So sad to read this. I worked with Bill at CHAM radio in Hamilton in the early 80's. He had such a huge personality that once anyone met him, they could never forget him. Hope he is lighting up another universe. I am so sorry for your family's loss.

HI Heather, we are so sorry to hear about Bill. He was one of the good guys. Sending love and condolences.

Heather, we are sorry to read this. So many, many memories from CJRN, United Way and life in general. My annual birthday lunch was always a highlight. Lots of conversation about books, politics, family. Thinking of you and your family. Hoping the memories sustain you. Bill will always be a cherished memory for us. Csk

We lost another great one. Loved who Bill was and all his years of hard work and dedication to so many. My heart felt condolence to his family. Bill and my family had crossed paths so many times over the years. When my son was 5 or so Bill did a photo shoot with him to create a pamphlet for camp dialysis. Then a few years later they did an interview together on cogeco to gear up for March canvassing for the Kidney Foundation. Then a few years later Bill turned up at Drew´s school to receive a donation to the Kidney Foundation and was surprised when he found out that Drew had raised it at a dance in grade 7. Then years after Drew graduated and worked in radio, him and Bill crossed paths again. And my final year with Bill was when he did a stint with a charity I worked at for 20 yrs, Women´s Addiction Recovery Mediation. He was a crazy busy guy that was so fun to be around. He had the hugest heart and will be missed by so many I am sure. God bless and soar with the stars my friend.
