    Willie & Family;

    I was very saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. I worked with Bill when I was a young mechanic at Frayne Chev-Olds. He was such an accomplished technician and taught me a great deal. I was always so impressed at how quickly he got jobs done, always “beating the clock”, yet he never appeared to be in a rush. A methodical and meticulous man who made every move count. Bill’s cheerful and calm demeanour was rare and admirable. I always enjoyed our chats over the years when we’d bump into one another. He will be sorely missed.
    My sincere sympathy to you all. Rest In Peace Bill.
