    Grace, our family is so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. Cathy and Carol remember their music sessions with Bill and in the Junior Choir at Knox Church. I will miss our Thursday chat at Zehrs when Bill ran in to get a chicken at the Deli. The time he spent with our senior choir at Knox. Our family sends their prayers to you, Grace.

    Bill, you will always be rembered for your friendship over the last 18 years Iโ€™ve known you. You were so welcoming when John and I arrived in Goderich something I will always cherish.

    Extending my sympathy to the family. He loved and used his talent of music throughout his life. I remember a time when I needed assistance on trying to figure out the timing of a new hymn that we were going to use at Christ Church, Port Albert and so I phoned Bill. Well, there we were singing to each other over the phone until I could get the timing ‘just right’. Many a funeral service he played for at McCallum & Palla’s which always gave us time to relax and reflect and say a wee prayer. Now he is playing for the angels for them to enjoy and sing along. I will miss his friendly ‘hello’, and friendly ‘smile’. RIP Bill

    To you Grace… sincere condolences for the loss of Bill your husband of many years. Bill would come in and out of my classroom for years bringing his gift of music to the students. He would always have a joke to tell and would celebrate any of the childrenโ€™s birthdays with a special song!! He will be missed

    I will always remember my Uncle Bill as a kind and generous man. We shared a love of music. He helped so many people learn and appreciate music which is a gift they will have all their lives. Aunt Grace, our thoughts are with you and I hope you find some comfort in knowing that throughout his life Uncle Bill really impacted a lot of people in a very positive way. Love Keith

    Mr. Cameron taught me music in Victoria Public school. I learnt the music scale at a very young age from him and was so proud of myself when I was able to teach it to my older siblings! Thank you for all the music lessons! RIP

    It seems only yesterday that we hired Bill to be the music teacher at Victor Lauriston School. He was always good at teaching the pupils a song and leaving the teacher to carry on until he returned again. His music ability was excellent. He was instrumental in beginning he teaching of instrumental music, as we were able to use a few that had been left in the building when the high school building was closed and the new high school was built. The Goderich Public School Board purchased a few more and Bill added to his teaching of instrumental music. Upon retirement he continued with his music often seen playing the piano in the church, at funerals, etc. I will miss hearing him play the organ or seeing him walk down the aisle to communion at St. George’s Church. Our sympathies to Grace.

    So saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. He will be missed greatly by my family. Bill and Grace were our next door neighbours when we were little and were like another set of grandparents to me and my brother. When they moved my family followed and they lived behind us and across the street so they still stayed involved in our lives. As we grew up and got married they became special people in our children’s lives. We will miss you dearly.

    Mr. Cameron was a musical icon in my life as I grew up. Not only did I have the pleasure of him teaching me music for many years during public school , I also was fortunate enough to work beside him years later at Victoria School . He will be fondly remembered by many. Deepest condolences to Mr. Cameronโ€™s family..

    So saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. I will forever remember his expertise and dedication to music. I remember Mr. Cameron as our music teacher at Victoria Public School and Victor Lauriston Senior School. Bill was an inspiration for our musical interests. He had the patience to teach the basics and encouraged us to learn an instrument. His guidance provided younger generations the skills to join the GDCI Concert Band and the Goderich Laketown Band. In recent years, I had the privilege of reconnecting with Bill during my visits home and at St. George’s Anglican Church. He was an exemplary educator, well respected for his musical talent. May his family find peace in Bill’s memory and the gifts he shared with others.

    Our thoughts are with the Cameron family at this time. We both were associated with Bill in our teaching careers and enjoyed Bill’s sense of humour and quick wit. Even after retirement Bill continued to take a keen interest in our family and always asked how things were going. Bill will be missed.
