Oh Leanne, I am so sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed my years working with Bill. May your happy memories sustain you.

So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. What a great guy and golf enthusiast. He was a contributor and will be missed.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with all the family and friends. I worked with Bill at CIBC and he was an incredible mentor and friend. One of my favorite memories was when we went golfing with a client. We shared a golf cart, just spending time together and had many good chats and laughs. Bill was a spectacular golfer, it was a sport that he really enjoyed, and he had so many great tips on how I could improve my game. That was Bill, whether it was at the office or on the course, such a caring and thoughtful person with the biggest smile and heart. Thanks for everything Bill I will miss you!

Leanne and Family - I worked with Bill quite a few years ago. He was friendly, kind and an honourable gentleman. The world has lost a fine man and I offer sincere condolences to the whole family. I also want to compliment the author of the obituary - you caught Bill's spirit very well. I chuckled at the mention of "meticulous research". He was certainly a thorough researcher in everything he did which leads me to believe he also chose his family carefully and well.

We are heartbroken and will remember Bill forever! So friendly and kind. Big hugs to you, Leanne, and all Bill's family as we know what a large hole will be in your lives. Remember he is always with us, as we will retell his jokes and share the memories forever. We are so honoured to have spent time with Bill in our lives. All our love, Randy & Barb.

Dear Leanne,

We are deeply saddened to hear of Bill's passing.

May he rest in peace, and may you find solace in the cherished memories you created together.

With all our love, Karen & Ross McIntyre

Leanne, sorry to hear of Bill's passing. On behalf of Gayle and I, our sincerest most heartfelt condolences. I have uploaded a photo of the day that we all happened to meet in Palm Springs by pure coincidence. Can't recall the restaurant or the year. Vividly remember the moment we starred across the street at each other not believing our eyes. That was the very day we met Bill.

Bill was a mentor of mine. When I started my career in commercial real estate, Bill took the time to educate me through many stories and joining him on client meetings. To this day, Bill helped shape my continuing interest in real estate and a zest for life. Bill was a genuine good person. I'm sad, but fortunate to have met Bill many years ago.

So sorry to hear of Bill's passing. My sympathy to all the family. My prayers are with you all.

Love Pauline Beloin and family

I am deeply saddened to hear Bill's passing at such a young age. It was wonderful working with you. May you rest in peace!

To Leanne, family and friends of Bill. Sending my deepest condolences for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Bill for a few years, he was a great coach and mentor. Bill was always a pleasure to work with, always entertaining us his jokes. Such a gentle person with a great sense on humour. Thanks for all of the laughs Bill!

I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I worked with Bill at CIBC for many years.

My heart goes out to his family at this sad time.

Condolences to Leanne, Paul and Peter from John’s neighbours Chris and Kay. Bill was known to us as a kind boy in his time in Toronto that grew into a loved gentle man. He had a big heart for everyone. May his memory live on.

We are so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. Our heart and prayers go out to you and the entire family. Bill will be missed.

❤️ Pat, Cathy & Family

I met Bill in 2014 and instantly hit it off. The one thing I have always admired about Bill was how easy it was to talk and share things with him. Bill was always thinking of others, he always had a joke a gift or just a nice thing to say. Bill and Leanne opened their home in Arizona to Sandra and me and we always enjoyed our time with both of them and their Arizona family. We had many laughs and many bottles of wine together. Bill was a true friend to me. The life given to us by nature is short but the memory of a life well spent is eternal.

I met Bill through golf when he joined our group. He was a delight to play with and against as his humor and friendly slams were so darn funny. He was truly a treasure and I count my blessings to have known him as a competitor and, more importantly, as a friend. My condolences to his family, cannot come close to filling the huge void in their hearts but it's given with love. May he rest in peace and love forever. Steve

We met Bill as an adult when we travelled to the Lemieux Reunion to celebrate Uncle Cyrille's 80th birthday in 1995. It was easy to realize that he was John Lemieux's son! So personable, interested in who was there, and fun to be with. We have seen each other for the many Lemieux Reunions over the years. We may live in Florida, but we will always be Lemieuxs!

To Leeanne, Peter, Susan, and Paul: Our prayers are with you during these most difficult times, especially that we are still mourning your dad, John, leaving us in August. They will always be in our hearts.

Sincerely,

Your Florida Cousins: Terry Nelson, Suzanne Orr, (Cindy Smith, Adele Jackson, Barbara Shelfer, Catherine Jackson), Paulette Krug, (Rob Semmes, Donna Peene).

We share your pain and sadness at Bill's passing. He was such a good man, and beloved by all who were fortunate enough to know him.
