We have been blessed to know Bill as a dear friend for the last 10 years. His care and concern for us has been unparalleled. Bill has provided prayers, support through illnesses and shared his deep faith with us. We will miss his love towards humanity, dedicated and selfless friendship, love of family, guidance, spirituality, and love. Bill was an angel walking among us. He was the finest Masonic brother and leader anyone could ever have. We feel blessed to have been his friend.

With deep condolences to his family and friends,

I met Bill 10 years ago when I joined the Freemasons. He was my coach, my teacher, my mentor, and my best friend. More than that, he was like a family member to me and my wife. I will always remember Bill for his honesty, truthfulness, trustworthiness, integrity, his strength as a leader, and a very kind and trusted friend. I feel everyone should have a friend like Bill in their life.

Goodbye my friend, Bill. You will always be in our hearts. May God be with you in your next journey.

Your dear friend,
Pat Patwardhan

I met Bill when I joined St. Angela golf league 30 years ago and enjoyed the cameraderie and our many conversations after golf at the local watering hole. It goes without saying that he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
RIP Bill.

Bill will be sadly missed and fondly remembered, a true brother and a gentleman.
It was an honour to know him and we shared many happy moments together.
He was a mentor to many and now, a loss to us all.
May the Great Architect of the Universe look after him for us.
