I was shocked to see this obituary. I had just asked my dad about Bill again a few weeks ago... My deepest condolences to Bill's Family. Bill was a treasure, a bit like an onion - a lot of layers to him. He truly was a funny old bird that loved to tease & honestly had some of the best stories about his youth, Bev, his kids growing up and of course his grandkids. Some of my fondest memories in Strathclair are chatting with Bill at the co-op or stopping in for a visit after I first graduated. It was an odd friendship, but in a time where I felt alone he was the "adopt a grandpa" I didn't know I needed. I wish I got a chance to thank him for helping me through those years, those extra 45min he took at the store for a grocery list of only a bottle or 2 of Pepsi and smokes - just to talk about life while he sat on his chair at the front door. I looked forward to his visits, even on his bad days. I'm really sorry he's gone, but I'm glad he isn't in any pain anymore. - Posted by: Jessica McNish (Friend) on: Sep 08, 2023
