Bill & Eileen were one of the first Regina Bay Road folks that welcomed the Webbers. Bill would always comment on amount of gas we used taking our girls water skiing at all hours. We always knew Bill had a unique friendship with an old icon of Sioux Narrows, Mack Ward. Every Friday night we'd watch Mack heading to Bill's across the lake for his "wee nip" til the wee hours! Over the years we met all the Corns' kids - our condolences to all of you. You'll regale one another for years with your Dad's escapades. We always smile when Bill's name comes up ... warm memories. - Posted by: Penny & Terry Webber (Lake neighbours) on: Jun 04, 2018

I ran the poultry farm in Neepawa for Oscar Grubert and in 1976 Bill was put in charge of Neepawa and hence became the person I reported to. Bill and I worked together and became good friends and business associates until Oscar sold the company in 2006. Bill was of course only part time in the last few years. Bill was definitely a character! His business ethics were learned from Canada Packers. Tough but fair. That was Bill! I learned a great deal about business and life from Bill. I wish I had stayed closer with him in the final years. I thought about Bill often. He very much loved Eileen and missed her very much when she passed. He talked about her often. I am so very sorry for his passing. Bill's was a life well lived! - Posted by: Blair McLaughlin (Co Worker) on: Jun 03, 2018
