Bill really was an inspiration to us all, and summers at Woodbridge would not have been the same without him being there to take charge and organize some kind of activity. I learned to water ski with him being spotter in John’s boat, and after countless falls, I finally succeeded, and subsequently had a career of show skiing, ending with Expo ‘67. He took me on a tour of Camp Kanawana during the time he was a councillor there, and, he was ever so proud. Whenever he came through the Montreal area, we managed to get together for a visit. The last I saw Bill was a few years before he went into the Arnprior Villa. We had a nice lunch and recounted many of the wonderful memories we had as kids growing up at the cottage, in an era that obliged us to create our own fun.
Bill’s laugh, kindness and generosity will always be remembered, and, I wish to extend my deepest condolences to his family, and all of his friends.
