Dear Gladys, Kim & Kelly and families………Just back from vacation and heard that one of the nicest gentleman that I’ve ever known has passed away. Bill was a very special person with a cute sense of humour and a great way of doing business. I always enjoyed our visits together and never missed seeing him whenever I was at HMP. I hope that your memories help to fill the void in your hearts and may your family & friends comfort you.

Dear Gladys, Kim & family, Kelly & family,
I am in Surrey B.C. I received by e-mail the sad news of Bill’s passing. It is difficult to say goodbye to the person you love and to know that he will no longer be with you at family functions. However, he will BE THERE if you continue to speak his name and share with each other the countless memories of him gathered throughout the years. Rejoice in the life God granted him as he leaves a fine family legacy.
