Mourning the best poppy and his pride and joy are his grandchildren: Kyle, Mollie, Keira and Evan. His loving family: sister Nellie, sisters-in-law: Beth (Rick) and Madeline, as well as a large circle of relatives and friends.

Bill was a long-time resident of Holyrood and was known to many residents as a gentle quiet man, hardworking and totally devoted to his family. His time with Parsons and Sons Transportation were some of his happiest as he bussed kids safely to school by day and his bingo goers at night as they all thought the world of him. He was an excellent, caring neighbor and all the kids loved Bill. He will be greatly missed by his family and all that knew him. 

Extending thanks to Bill’s caregivers with special gratitude to Ann Marie Snow who spent countless hours going over and above to provide Bill with the best care possible.
