My condolences Danny, Marilyn and family, so sorry to hear of Billy’s sudden passing.
There are so many great qualities Billy demonstrated throughout his life. I have great memories of kicking around with Billy in his younger years. I was always in awe of his ingenious qualities to tackle anything mechanical, it all seemed to come so natural to him. He had an ability to make you feel welcome, valued and included. Great guy, RIP my friend.

I remember the first time I met Billy.He probably weighed 130 pounds while carrying about 40 pounds of tools either in a tool bag or stuck in his pit belt.You could tell he was just itching to get to work.I immediately noticed what a nice guy he was. He carried his work ethic and personality throughout his life.My condolences are offered to the family of a fine man.Rest Easy Billy

How fortunate I feel to have known Billy and been one of his many friends. I knew he was always only a phone call away if I was experiencing problems with my car or truck because he was so generous with his time and always willing to "take a look". Years ago I enjoyed time spent kayaking with him and his Uncle Lorne out on Lingan Bay in the early morning or evening.
Billy had many great qualities. He was kind, generous, honest, easy-going and respectful of others. It was always clear how very much Becca and Aaron meant to him.
To Becca, Aaron, Marilyn, Dan, Lorne, Willena and Joanne, I send my sincere condolences. I know I am among a great many people who are saddened by his death. He will be missed and remembered with admiration and respect.
