Our sincerest condolences to Gerry, Kristen, Julie and Paula. My husband & I were lucky enough to see Paula last evening and she told us of Bill's passing. Wonderful neighbours and wonderful childhood memories.
My mom also sends her deepest sympathies.

So sorry to hear of the death of your father/grandfather. We never had the pleasure of meeting Bill but feel sure we would have enjoyed him the way you describe his heart of gold, beautiful smile and laugh. The more we get to know her, the more I think some of those qualities are living on in Amber. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Dear Gerry and family, we always enjoyed our chats with the two of you at the Innsville Restaurant. Billy always had a smile for us. We are thinking of you at this difficult time.

Condolences to Gerry and family on the loss of Billy. I remember the good times Billy,Tom and I had at Newman Steel. They both had a great sense of humour. Remembering the walks around neighbourhood you and Bill had and the talks we had when we met. My deepest condolences Darrell Kelly.
So sorry to hear that we have lost the humour of Bill on this earth but know that he will continue living in our hearts. We have only known the two of you for a relatively short time since Amica opened but will surely miss the two of you enjoying your evening wine on the Bistro. You made a great team you two and we looked forward to seeing you both at events. Please accept our condolences at this painful time when we wish that hugs and personal words might be better but this virus makes us send them through the air but know they are directed your way.
Looking forward to meeting face to face again.

We are thinking of you Gerry and family. Dale remembers many good times and parties with the Bachur's, Saulnier's and the Brawn's. Our deepest sympathy. Dale and Wendy Brawn
Back in the early 1960's, Bill and Gerry & Tom and Belle were always welcome visitors to our little house on Upper Gage. The resounding laughter of Tommy and Billy is so clear in my mind, as I recall the good ole days. Back then my husband, Eddie, was a shift worker at Dofasco, and I believe that's where the three guys became acquainted. Ed passed away January 21st of this year, and I see where Tom and Belle have also deceased.
My heartfelt sympathy to Gerry and the family. Billy will live on in my memories and yours. A great guy!!
We are all so sad to hear of our neighbour Bill's passing. Condolences from all your Madoc st. Neighbours. Ivan, Lisa, Michael, Marlina, Pierrette, Mike, Kathy and Annie.
I want to share my all time favourite Bill Joke.
