Marg, Daniel and Patrick: Bill taught me glockenspiel in 1981 in the Gonzaga high school cafeteria in St. John’s Newfoundland. Later, it was rock climbing in Portugal Cove, and then canoeing the Gander River. He loved the Newfoundland Outdoors and taught a generation to appreciate it. I still remember how fiercely proud he was of his Chalker Place roots! Jump ahead thirty years and there the two of you were at my mother’s funeral, teasing my brother about his golf game. I called my father tonight – he’s not much for computers and Frank sends his condolences. There’s heavy hearts, but many great stories being told from Newfoundland to British Columbia about Bill, he touched so many people. We are so sorry to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace.
