    Bill would always bring smiles wherever he went. It never took too long to see the gruff, hard, grumpy personna was simply an act and there was a big teddy bear underneath. Always one to tell his latest joke and had to share a mint, he always had a handful in his pocket. It was warming to see the love he expressed whenever he spoke about Alberta. To Alberta and his family, my sincere condolences. Bill will surely be missed.
