As a close friend of Bill Jr. I had the opportunity to sit and chat with Bill Sr. many times. He was quite simply one of the most interesting and intelligent people I have ever met. He will be sadly missed but I will treasure our conversations forever.
An accomplished leader, who will be greatly missed.
Kindest Regards
Joan, Bill jr , Laurie and family. So very sorry for your loss. Bill was a highly respected police leader and exceptional investigator. RIP Chief, your legacy lives on.
Hello Billy Boy ,as he is affectionately called by me on every nurse visit,that’s how I will greet him and he would laugh and said I hear the voice of my Jamaican girl and we will both laugh. We had a unique connection though every visit we will end our lengthy augmented with disagreements but appreciation on both sides what each of us had learned from each other , and yes as most people who knows Bill there we lots of repetitive stories yet I would laugh at each time .Am so privileged to meet and treat such phenomenal man.For his kind words of advice and thoughtfulness each and every day will live with me for the rest of my life. To Joan and the entire Teggart family thank you sooo much for allowing me to share. I had a wonderful fun loving time caring for Billy Boy. He will be missed.i will cherish every moment especially a day being “CHIEF” RIP my beloved Billy Boy.
When someone close passes, particularly a parent we search the language for an appropriate thought. Bill would know what to say, i am left wanting. Please know that as a colleague, a Chief and certainly as a mentor Bill was a very large part of the success of a whole generation
of fine police personnel, and the development of the finest Police Service of its time. His guidance, his values, his character and his unwavering belief in the Halls of Justice as contrasted with the Courts of Law left a legacy still very evident today.
Please know that Stephanie’s and my thoughts are with you and that in some small way recognizing the enormous contribution he made to all he touched will comfort you
