My thoughts and prayers are with the family, especially Janice. My fondest memory: he was the one 'adult' who spent the most time with all of us kids (cousins) when we were youngsters. He would pile us all into his El Camino and take us to the top of Scotsmans Hill in Calgary to spend the afternoon doing rolly pollies down the steep grassy slope. There was always an air of adventure and fun when Uncle Bill was in command. It was through Bill's affiliation with the Mason's that I became a member of The International Order of Job's Daughters, Bethel 12, Calgary at the age of 13. This was a life changing experience for me and a time in my life that was the richest in community, friendship, charity and personal development. My father John, a printer, and Uncle Bill and I shared common careers in the printing industry. Bill's interest in my graphic design work was much appreciated. Uncle Bill was a intriguing man who always had an interesting comment or question to ask. He was sincerely interested in people and in the world. I was happy that Uncle Bill chose Halifax as his last home which he absolutely loved. I can't say enough about the love and care he received his last few years from Alex, Barb and Jeff MacDonald - his personal angels. His wish was their command. Rest in peace, Uncle Bill. You were a man with a huge heart and always with a twinkle in your eye.
