    Our sincere condolence&&single&&s to the Bennett Family I have very fond memories of growing up with Bill as a good friend in Seaforth.He will be sadly missed by all for his contribution to the fiber of the town

    We were saddened to hear of Bill&&single&&s passing. I have wonderful and fond memories of Bill&&single&&s many years on Council. He was always good natured even during times of tense situations. It was taken for granted, even without self-promotion that Bill would lead the polls in any election.
    Seaforth has lost a good person.
