So sadden to hear of Bill ‘s (Billy’s) passing. I had the pleasure of working with him at Kempton Construction when he was a trucker here. I still refer to the truck he used to drive as Billy’s Truck! He had a big heart and a love for his family especially his grandchildren and his prized car! He loved a good chat and pizza days in the break room!!
Thinking of you all at this difficult time! Definitely a huge void to fill OX

Cathy, our condolences to you and your family.
Steve and I will miss Bill’s knock on our door for his regular visits just to ‘catch up’ or to problem solve his projects with Steve. Steve and Bill had wonderful adventures together, floating Bill’s (AKA Tom Sawyer) bridge down the Huron Haven seaway and working together on the beaver dam. Bill took such joy in life and faced every day with a positive attitude in search of ways for improving other people’s lives. We love you Bill and we will miss you immensely, as will Mickey. Rest in peace.
We have fond memories of our Wellington Street neighbours :) Our heart goes out to you Cathy and family at this difficult time. Bill was always so kind and willing to lend a hand to anyone who needed it.
I was so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. He was such a warm and wonderful man. He will be missed by anyone who has ever met him. My thoughts are with you Cathy, Jenn, Pete, Jeff, and your loved ones in this difficult time. My deepest condolences to you all.
