Dear Dickson Family,

I am sorry to learn of the passing away of Bill. I knew him when I was living in Mississauga. He was a good friend. I enjoyed our chats and he gave great counsel. He was very supportive. I am sure he is enjoying meeting all the relatives he discovered while doing family history. May you always remember the good memories of Bill. Wishing you peace and comfort at this time.

I am moved to tears as I read Bill’s wonderful obituary. Bill was my friend and welcomed me with open arms when I moved to Calgary. I struggled to understand his Scottish accent although his booming voice certainly helped my difficulty. Bill graciously took me to the airport on my last day in Calgary, and I was honored to call him my friend. His emails of late have gotten fewer; thus, I knew he was preparing himself to be called home. Love, Tom

What a wonderful life Bill Had..I grew up with Bill in Barlanark, Glasgow until I left with my Husband for Australia in 1967..I am sure he will be sadly mised by all that new him

Thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.

RIP Bill.

Billy, Mariela, and boys. So sorry to hear this news. Your dad’s obituary is inspiring. Such a patriarch. Everything good in him has been passed down to you, Billy. Sending prayers of joy and thanks for his life to your whole family. With love, the Callahans.

I’m sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. I have good memories from the time you were in Manchester all those years ago. How wonderful it is to hear that he stayed faithful until the end! My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
