Bill was predeceased by his wife Noreen (nee Kitching); father and mother, Roy and Anna; sister Melvina and her husband Jim Akins; brother Cecil 'Joe' and his wife Rene; and brother-in-law Keith Kitching.

We enjoyed many years of square and round dancing with Noreen and Bill. This wonderful couple are holding hands once again as they are reunited on the dance floor of eternity. What a privilege to have known them. Norm, who shared nautical blood with Bill, also did business for DND at Bristol. Bill was a man of great integrity, honesty and upstanding character. As he sails on his last voyage into the harbour of peace may it be known that he has served his country and fellow citizens with pride and distinction. Condolences to all in this amazing family created by Noreen and Bill. - Posted by: Norm & Betty Brown (Friends) on: Nov 28, 2017
