Just heard of BILL's passing, as I now live in British Columbia. I owned CARDINAL FINE CABINETRY for 40 years and BILL was my toughest competitor. Always a true gentleman and I always respected him. So sorry to know he is no longer with us and I send my deepest condolences to his wife and family.
Our deepest condolences on the passing of Bill. He was a truly passionate man🙏someone who embraced life with energy, heart, and a genuine joy that touched everyone around him. Bill took pride in the work he created and in the relationships he built along the way. He loved to chat, to share a good story, and he had a special way of making everyone feel welcomed, appreciated, and at ease. May his memory bring comfort, and may the impact he had on so many lives continue to shine brightly. With sincere sympathy, Nic

RIP Bill The years I worked for you are memories that helped to mold me in my career as a kitchen designer and as a human being. I was so glad to have been able to reconnect and visit a few times at Parkwood Hospital and your last LTC home. I told you that I once was an employee of yours but afterwards became a friend. I will always remember your contribution to my life Bill.
Bill, it was a pleasure knowing you for so many years. Thank you for being a true friend to both my father and myself. My deepest condolences to Ilona, Peter, Semone and the entire family. May you rest in peace.

“ HELLO BILL “ , was the way he’d answer the phone when I would call looking for an odd piece of cabinet hardware I would need for a kitchen cabinet repair. Bill was always happy to help me out with whatever he could. We had some good conversations over the years, deeply sorry that he’s moved on but thankful to have known him. Pete Ross
