Uncle Bill you will be dearly missed...I remember so many good times at the cottage and around our pool. I was looking at some great pictures the other night of many good times we had. We cousins will now have to keep all the memories alive of you and Jean and mom and dad (Helen & Jack)....until we meet again

Dear Robert and family: please accept our sincerest condolences on the passing of your father. We have fond memories of him at the cottage over the many years, and especially some of the advice he gave us when we built the garage, and many other tips and comments on the beach.

Dear McBrides:
Your father and mother were wonderful long-term neighbours and friends. Part of the legacy they've passed on to our family is the next generation of McBride neighbours.
Our thoughts are with you these difficult days; time will help to gradually replace the sadness you feel with the many pleasant memories, occasions and gifts that they have left for you.

I was very sad to see this in the paper today.
I wish my condolences to the McBrides. He was a wonderful man and I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet him.
All my best to the family.
