My deepest sympathy, Ann; to you and your entire family. You and Bill took dance instruction with me at Club 13 several years ago. I remember Bill as being on the quiet side and maybe a little shy. And just so you know... you were both more proficient on the dance floor than I believe you thought. IRISH PROVERB: Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

My sincere sympathy goes out to the entire Knowles Family both here in Canada and his native Ireland. Willie was a well thought of person in his family and circle of friends.For those of us who had the good fortune to know him will tell you of his loving and kind nature. He loved his family and especially his three grandchildren and I know this from the many conversations we had over the years. Willie was into sports and had a keen love for cycling and watching football(soccer). The things I will miss most is the Ulster fry's we would have together at the lake with my other two brothers: Harry, Danny and going out for dinner on special occasions and watching the odd football game and our frequent phone conversations. You will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace my friend. Gone but never forgotten. Love Martin, Sandi, Sheena & Sean - Posted by: Martin Dooey (Very Good Fiend) on: Apr 27, 2016
