    RIP Bill was always fun to be around – at the golf coarse or at the Moose Lodge where I got to know Bill. Sorry to the family, always wearing a smile.

    Rip Bill. You was always a fun kid. So sweet and a bit mischievous at times. I remember how you loved your dog Snowball. You are now with
    Bobby and your Mom and Dad. Out of pain and a big smile on your face.
