I'm so sorry to hear of Uncle Bill's passing. Although it's been years since I've seen him, I have many happy childhood memories out at Falcon Lake with my dad (Brian McEachern) and Uncle Colin. Our thoughts are with the family. - Posted by: Jessica McEachern (great niece) on: Aug 05, 2014

I bowled with Bill for several years, which feels like an eternity ago. Our team the Indians (awful name) was made up of Bill and Mike, myself and Joey Bosko when I first started bowling with them in 1976. I bowled with Bill and Mike until I left Coronation back in 2001. Bill and Mike were still bowling at that time. I have fond memories of Bill, so sorry to hear of his passing - Posted by: Darcy Robert (friend ) on: Aug 05, 2014

We all remember great times at Uncle Bill's where us kids were allowed to run wild in the basement and enjoy the wonderful food! We could hear laughter and songs from the adults above as they welcomed special celebrations such as Ukrainian Christmas. We will always hold the memories dear in our heart..... Sending our heartfelt condolences to the family from the Joe Hayko family. - Posted by: Dr. Marilyn Parkin (Neice) on: Aug 03, 2014
