Bill inspired and helped me more than he would have realized, and I am forever grateful for having met him. He was such a pleasure to visit with and had a warm, caring and gentle spirit. He will be missed and thought of often. Thinking about his family during this time. - Posted by: Lisa H (friend) on: Sep 24, 2014

Cindy, You probably won't remember me but my parents, Ben and Jean Ripley, were very good friends of your mom and dad. I know you also lost your mother last year. It has been a rough couple of years for you. My mom passed away over 20 years ago and dad passed away last November in Nova Scotia. He was aware of your mom's passing. Our sympathies are with you and we are thinking of you and your family at this time. regards, Alf Ripley Brandon, MB - Posted by: Alf Ripley (Family friend) on: Sep 24, 2014
