Bill was an exemplary individual who made a difference in the lives of children. Whenever I called upon his services to search for a child to return them to school he demonstrated a genuine caring concern for the well being of each child and did what he could to make a positive influence on them and their families. It was a rare privilege to work with such an outstanding individual. My sincere condolences to his family. - Posted by: LeeAnn Mytz (former colleague) on: Apr 01, 2013

I am deeply saddened to know that we will not be seeing Bill in the halls of our school any more. I would often call Bill to collect some of my students over the years and in particular he would pick up "Courtney" who would miss the bus. When we were throwing a party for a teacher who was leaving our program, Courtney insisted on inviting "my friend Bill." He delighted in being with the children. Such a loss for everyone. My condolences to his family. - Posted by: Deb Thordarson (teacher/co-worker) on: Apr 01, 2013

We are very sorry to hear of Bill's passing. Our deepest condolences go out to Teresa, Clayton, Jamie and family. We enjoyed the many Gospel Jamberees, nursing homes and other venues, Bill and us boys would preform at. He named the band "Bilious Pond" and there are several cd's made of our group. Bill was our leader and he wrote many songs, with little effort on his part. He will be greatly missed by all of us. - Posted by: David and Sonia Sawatzky (Friends) on: Mar 31, 2013
