We were so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. We always had lots of fun and laughs with him and it will seem strange to not see him at the golf course. Our condolences to the family and we are sorry we are out of country and unable to attend his service.
Condolence From: Gladys McGregor
To Les, John and families. I was so sorry to hear of Bills’ passing. He was a true gentlemen and a wonderful friend. We played a lot of golf together and I was always happy if I managed to beat him. Many a time we would be tied coming down to the final hole. The odd time, Grant would beat us both because we were not paying attention to Grants’ score. Bill loved to play golf with Grant, Brad Finlayson and myself. Those are memories I will cherish. He and Grant always had a lot of good chats at the Pumpkin Patch. Bill will be truly missed. Hugs to you all. Gladys and family.
Condolence From: Jim and Gene Baynham
