Winona and family my deepest sympathies. Bill was a very loved man. He always brought a smile to everyone he met. He loved a good auction. He was the "sharpest" as he was always making a deal. He was truly loved by all and his presence will always be missed - Posted by: Heather A Doroschuk-McSherry (friend) on: Nov 19, 2015
