We are both so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing, I have been carrying his Legion membership to Branch 309 in my car for months, every time we are in Goderich I would stop at his apt and it always looked the same but he was never home and I just assumed he was out for breakfast. So sorry that I did not follow up with someone in the family to find out if he was alright or not. We cannot come to the visitation or funeral due to Dr apt. He was a great guy and a really good story teller.
