He always looked forward to a beer with "the boys" at the Royal Canadian Legion No. 81 on Trent Avenue. Above all, Bill had a passion for life and even taught himself how to operate a computer well past the age of 70. Bills love of life will always be remembered and cherished. In accordance with his wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no funeral service.
