So sad to hear about Bill. He had a beautiful personality and always happy. I remember all the reunions, where we had such a wonderful visit and reminiscing all the old days at St Canice. My prayers and thoughts are with Judy and family.

Sad to hear this about Bill. We grew up 4 houses apart on Rochelle street. Later after high school Bill Judy and Barb spent a lot of time together. He never had a bad word for anyone. always loved a good time. He and Judy even wrote a song together for the Donut wagon. We have not been close in later years but you were always special man who a am glad to say I was friends with me.
