Bill was one of the most outgoing members I have ever met. I met Bill back in 1993 in Kelowna and he was so nice to deal with. I eventually got to work in Plainclothes with him and it proved to be a friendship I valued greatly. Rest in peace my old friend.
Cathy – we were so sorry to hear of Bill’s passing. The memories we have of sharing time with him (and you) are now all the more precious. Bill helped me so much during the time I worked with him. You are in our thoughts at this very sad time.
Bill was one of the first people we met while working in RCMP Pr. George. Great man, he will be sadly missed our prayers and thoughts are with you Cathy and family, God Bless.
It is with a heavy heart I send this Cath. Bill and I shared many, many stories, whether it be about the R.C.M.P or the Kamloops Fire Dept.He sure did not like my wriggled dollar bills!! Don Clovechok. Kamloops
Cath, it with a heavy heart I send this. Whether the many many stories about the R.C.M.P or the Kamloops Fire Dept, did we have loads of laughs. You never liked my dollar bills wriggled!! Don Clovechok. Kamloops

So sad to hear of Bill’s passing. We haven’t known Bill long but once met never forgotten. Such a funny, lovely man who will be missed. Our thoughts are with Cathy and the family.
Cathy I will be dedicating my July 3rd, 2014 column to Bill. I will make sure you and the family get a copy. See you at the celebration of life.

What a shock to read of Bill’s passing. I will always remember his garage with a t.v. beer fridge and all the neighbour men being entertained by Bill. He will be missed by so many.
Although we did not know bill well, we moved here from blind bay in august of 2013 to the lower mission area & were looking for a down to earth pub with friendly people. Well that is how we found the creekside pub and bill. He made us feel more then welcome with a little cheeky side. We will truly miss him. Our sincere condolences to the family, Bill & Gitte Linterman
We are very sad to learn of Bill’s passing. Fond memories of our times in Kamloops together. Our condolences to you Cathy, and extended family.

To Bill’s family,
I’m sorry for your loss. I met Bill only once, when he sold me a 1968 Ford Mustang fastback at his house in Maple Ridge, in October 1976. He struck me as an honest man, and the details he gave me about the Mustang proved to be accurate.
I still have the car, and occasionally think of Bill when I drive it.
Regards,
