  • RIP Mr B. - Posted by: Natalie () on: Mar 27, 2016

  • Moraig, We just heard that Bill passed away. We are so very sorry and you and family will miss him dearly!! He was a small man with HUGE gentle presence. We have some wonderful memories of our times with you guys. My one memory is of Bill happily dancing his heart out on the dance floor with a woman who was at least a foot taller and whipped him around that dance floor. He just had a huge smile on his face and did his best to keep up. I have many more. He gave me my first (and last) taste of scotch!!! haha. Oh, Bill!! Sorry we did not see you more in the last years. We wish you a beautiful place in Heaven. You were a special Man and deserve a great reward! Our thoughts at this Christmas time to all the family!! God Bless!! Love Tim and Bonnie - Posted by: Tim and Bonnie Friesen (Friends) on: Dec 18, 2015

  • Dear Gillian, Mrs. B, Ronald and James, I was so sorry to learn of Mr. B's passing. I will always have fond memories of your dad, he treated so many of us like family while we all grew up hanging around under your parents roof. To Mr. B ..."Cheerio", you will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Michael Hinson (family friend) on: Nov 27, 2015

  • I want to take a moment to thank Mr B for tolerating a house constantly full of teenagers while Ron and Gill were going to Oak Park. He kept us in line and made sure everyone was safe and playing fair. He had an uncanny ability to know who was on the phone before it got picked up off the cradle as well as the mischievous air of a man who knows more than he is willing to say. He may possibly be the world's champion of keeping an ash on a lit cigarette while talking. Safe travels Mr B, thanks for looking after us in our wild days Sending love to Mrs B, Ron, Gill and James - my thoughts are with you during these days - Posted by: shaughna b (friend of the family) on: Nov 27, 2015
