On behalf of all the curlers in the Retired Men's league I extend my condolences to his family upon Bill's passing. Bill was a lot of fun to curl with, nevdr losing his desire to be competitive. I myself have curled on the same team with Bill, and you could always count on him to do his best. He was a valued member of the league and will be missed by us all. - Posted by: Randy Clear (President of the Retired Men's League at St. Vital curling club.) on: Jul 23, 2016

I worked in the same division (dist 5) as Bill in the early 80's. He was a treat to work with and was all ways positive about everything. His big smile helped light up a room. Bill had a good life and it is sad to see him go. My condolences to Trudi and family. Ron Dawson - Posted by: Ron Dawson (work mate and friend) on: Jul 16, 2016
