Bill was a quiet, kind man. He shared time and coffee with my Dad for years. They were in the men´s club together and worked hard to help others. I send condolences to his family.

To the William Street Family,
Sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I would see him at the coffee shop regularly for many years. Soft spoken and a genuine gentleman, who's heart was alwsys in the right place, and in the interest of others. May He Rest In Peace.
