Bill had many close friendships which he treasured greatly. He was a gifted storyteller with had a story or a detailed memory for every situation, always delivered with a great sense of humor.

Bill was talented at buying and selling and the art of making a deal. He enjoyed driving around the province down every dirt road, finding his next gem and making a great trade. He loved antique cars and trucks. He considered himself a collector and he hated to throw anything away.

Bill will be missed so many. He will be remembered as a kind, gentle soul with a great love of life.
