Brian and Randy - our sincere condolences - one of our favorite memories was when Bill and Brian P assembled an out door metal shed in our driveway on Gerrond bay in st James then realizing it had to somehow get into the backyard - it got thrown over the fence and to our surprise it survived with minimal damage - not so funny at the time but looking back it was! Bill and Hazel will be missed - Posted by: Carol and Brian polonski (Long time friend an coworker) on: Mar 16, 2026

One of the best high school teachers I had the pleasure of knowing! Mr Bochinski had a funny side, always fair, but you didn’t want to push his buttons because he had a very firm but fair side. My sincerest condolences to everyone who held him close in the or hearts. ❤️ Rest easy sir! - Posted by: Amanda Chapnick (Gasenzer) (Former Student) on: Mar 14, 2026

Bill was one of the best. He was a very loved cousin and very loved nephew in my family. Years ago, before I can remember, he boarded with my Mom and Dad (his Aunt Gerry and Uncle Walter), me and my brother Doug. I was around two years old at this time. While I can't remember those days, I did have the pleasure of frequently seeing him throughout my youth since he often was visiting with my Mom and Dad. Then I remember the days he was subbing as a teacher at Cecil Rhodes School, where I was attending. I was so proud of him being my cousin. I made sure everyone knew "this was my cousin". Bill, I know many people will miss you. You were definitely a wonderful father, a very loved brother, husband, cousin, nephew and friend to many. RIP dear cousin.
