Bev, Kim, Craig and families. I am extremely sad about Bill's passing. He was my co-worker, he was the best manager that I had in my 33 years at 3M and, most of all, he was a great friend! My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.
Bev, Kim, Craig and families, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Bill. You are a great family and I know that you will keep the memories of Bill forever in your hearts. This is a hard time for a family, but your support from each other will help in getting through. Stay well and enjoy the memories.
Bev, Kimberly, Craig and families, Bill was a wonderful mentor and supervisor to me many years ago at 3M. I will be forever grateful for his strong support and encouragement. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Kim, Bev, Craig and family, We are so sorry for your loss. We know how difficult this is for all of you and our thoughts and prayers are with you. Megan still recalls what a nice man "Ashley's grandpa" was from those early years she spent with Kim. We are thinking of you all.

Dear Bev & family: We are sorry to hear of the loss of your dear husband and father. You and all in our thoughts at this sad time. Sincerely, Judy & Paul James
Dear Bev and Family: I have many fond memories of Bill from our early times at 3M. Back then, he was a futurist because of his concept of a special hospitality suite. He was sought by customers because he ensured our customers were treated royally and protected from incessant sales pitches that plagued them from our competitors. It was exciting to watch him in action. I was proud to work with him. More recently, I was thrilled by his invitation to join the gang at the retiree's lunch. Bill's friendship was a blessing back then, and having had the chance to renew it was a blessing recently. Bill, you, and family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Bev & family: We were shocked to hear of Bill's passing. Our prayers are with you and the family at this sorrowful time. We've known Bill for so many years. Baseball with Kelvinator's, working at 3M, etc.
Dear Bev So sorry to hear of the passing of Bill. My husband, Bob Margison so enjoyed working with Bill at 3M. He also looked forward to the retirie lunches that they shared. I am sure there was lots of laughs at that. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Craig, so sorry for the loss of your dad, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
You and your family will be remembered in my prayers. I was a classmate of Bill's in our grade 9 year at Sir Adam Beck . Bob Grand

Condolences to the Woolford Family. Bill, Don Ramsey , Barry Howson, and I ran on 4x220 relay teams when we were in Gr.9 & 10 at S.A Beck C.I. I remember Bill as a fierce competitor with a tremendous sense of humour. Once ,when we were on the way to Windsor for the Kennedy Relays,we filled up with hot beef sandwiches & mashed potatoes in Chatham. Mercifully we were saved by a half hour downpour just as Bill was getting into the starting blocks. Good times to remember. I'm sorry for your loss.......................... Dave MacKenzie
