We were very saddened to learn of Bill's passing. He was a good neighbour and friend for many, many years. In the summer, he would often pop over for a visit and bring a few ears of sweet corn. Sometimes, he would bring one of his horses over for a visit too. We will always remember Bill fondly. Our deepest condolences to the family.

Dear Carol, We were very sorry to hear of the passing of your dear husband, Bill. I well remember the developing love affair between you two as far back as Teachers' College when we boarded together. Bill's devotion to you was apparent even then. I hope that you will gain comfort and strength from your wonderful years together. You are in our thoughts.
With Sympathy, Elaine(Bowen) and Harry Bosveld

Carol, It seems like yesterday we were back in Teachers' College and you came back one weekend and had met Bill. These golden years get tarnished but I know you will treasure memories with your family as you say good-bye. I wanted to connect and convey my sympathies at this difficult time.
