Ruth, Tony and family: We are so sorry to hear about Bill's death. We did not know about his passing until today. We know how much you will miss him. He was quite a character to say the least. We always enjoyed our chats, both on Lyons Ave and at the apartment. I still remember the day Allan's back was out and he wouldn't get off the couch to go to the chiropractor because it hurt to move. We called Bill and asked if he could help. Bill came down to the house and asked me to go outside. He said he was going to "...use words I don't want you to hear me say." In about 10 minutes, Allan was walking outside to the car. Bill always had a way with words!! Just know that we are thinking of you and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
