While camping at Rock Point this past week my family found out of Bill's passing some two years later. We`are so sorry to hear of this loss. Bill and my father were good friends while he was employed in Dunnville at Rock Point. After he moved they continued there friendship until my father's passing in 1999. Bill always took the time to call my mom or vis versa over the years. We wondered and often though what had happened, now we know. From the Tennyson family to Bill's family we`are so sorry for your loss.

Keegan, May you find comfort in your memories. Thinking of you and your family with sympathy.

It is said that some people make the world a better place just by being in it. This was never truer than with bill. His sense of fun and his warm personality will make us smile for many years to come. A man of innate kindness, generous with his time and warm with his friendships ;the world is poorer now he has gone, and we as a family feel the emptiness such a good man has left in our lives. We will hear your laugh in the wind... Rest peacefully bill. Till we see you again. xxxx

Dear Bill,good friends are hard to find.So thankyou Bill for being a wonderful neighbour and a very good friend.We will never forget the kindness you showed to us and the fun times we had.

Nos plus sincère condoléance à toute la famille

Dear Huck, Jo, and nieces. So very sorry to hear that you lost a precious member of your family. I only met Bill a few times but they were all pleasant. It was much too early for him to go but God has a plan and we have to believe in him. Love you all, auntie Gigi.

Dear Keegan, I just heard about your dad - my mom let me know. I am so sorry and we wanted to offer our condolences. Although I didn't know your dad, I know you had a close relationship with him and it was good that you were about to spend time with him. We will be talking soon... take care. Regards Susan, Thomas, David and Jim McLean Pearl McLean

Will be sadly missed by all the Doherty's and friends in Ireland and France.

Our hearts go out to Carole and the children. Bill fought hard these past few years . He wanted nothing more than to be with his family. His pain and struggles are over now. We'll always remember Bill's hardy laugh and positive disposition. So sorry we couldn't be with you for the funeral. He was a special friend.
