With heavy heart I say goodbye. You were like a father to me all these years and you treated me like a daughter. I am sorry I never got to say goodbye in person. I will think of you often with love and respect.

Sending our love and although we never met Billy, his obituary speaks volumes. He sounds like a man that moved through the world in his own way and served our country and for that we say thank you.

Ellen, Stevie, Daniel and Arthur, our thoughts are prayers are you at this very difficult time. I have often said that if wanted to know what defines a true gentleman, sit with Billy MacKinnon for a very short time and you would find out in a hurry. As teen agers Billy and Ellen always welcomed us into their home. Rest assured that Billy is in heaven doing what he always did. "Watching out and caring for his family. RIP Bill. Murray and Brenda McNeil

Dear Ellen and Family, I read with sadness the news of Billy's death. I join your family and friends in extending sentiments of sympathies and condolences, care and concern,friendship and prayer. I remember Billy with great fondness and was always happy to see him when I was substituting for the pastor. I also remember meals we shared at your house when I was in the Gardiner. Maybe someday I can drop by "for old times' sake" God bless you.

Aunt Ellen, Stevie, Daniel and Arthur, We were very sorry to hear about Billy's passing. He was a very special person and one of the kindest souls ever. I have many fond memories of him over the years but some of my favorite will always be our debates about politics. Billy was smart and a great neighbor and uncle. Will be thinking of you all the next few days. Cheryl and Steve Gartner

Dear Aunt Ellen and Stevie, Daniel, and Arthur: So sorry to hear of Billy's passing, and my heartfelt condolences to you all. I feel very lucky to have had a chance to see Billy last summer on our brief visit to Cape Breton -- I can still see his sparkling eyes and mischievous smile, sense his quiet dignity, and hear his quick wit. Though we west coasters couldn't see him often, he left a deep impression on us all, as do all of you.

Dear Aunt Ellen, Stevie, Daniel and Arthur. So sad to hear of your loss (and ours). It has been a very long time since I have been out that way but I do recall being welcomed with great kindness and generosity by all of you and in particular enjoying Uncle Billy's wit and hospitality - he was a fine man. Deepest condolences to you all... may he rest in peace.
