Dear Barb and family Harvey and I were sad to read the passing of Bill. Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Bill was a special man and after 70 years of marriage I'm sure you are heart broken. Harvey and I were remembering the many, many hockey and ball games both you and Bill attended supporting both Harvey and Ryan. Of course Harvey remembers the many visits he had with Bill at Terry's garage. They were always solving all the problems of the world. Wouldn't they have some interesting conversations during this time.

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Harvey, Pattie, Lindsay and Ryan Sharpe, Odessa, Ontario

When I saw Bill's picture in the Whig Standard this morning, I immediately remembered Barb and Bill rowing past Jack and Duff's dock on Loughborough Lake, and Bill and Duff exchanging hilarious comments until they past. It was consistently the best comedy show on the Lake! Bill's laugh was as big as him and echoed through the islands. We are saddened to hear of your loss and hope your lifetime of fun memories sustain you through this rough time. One of the good ones is gone.

Sincerely, Bryan and John Mercer

The Shepherds and the Coates grew up together. Summers at Loughborough Lake on the island. Bill and George fishing, all of us swimming, boating, skiing. Will miss his smile and laugh. Love you all. Wendy
