Condolences to Maria & Family. RIP Bill.
Rest in peace Bill. You were a good man.
Our deepest sympathies Maria and family. Bill was certainly a bright light with his humour, good nature and winning smile. Even in his own personal fight he made time to message Ron thru his recent health crises. I am grateful for Bills strength and encouragement. Our years working together with the two of you were always a joy. Our sincere thoughts and prayers are with you.
Jackie and Ron Routh

John and I send our deepest condolences to Maria and family. Bill was a beautiful soul
Maria and family,
Maria, you and Bill stood by my mom (Joan Fockler), in her time of need. The support you gave to her meant the world. I wish that I could give a fraction of what you both gave to her.
There is something of that time that makes me think of Bill in very special, maybe odd way. There are few people in this world that is grounded. It seems to me that Bill was such a person. From what he shared, he was man of character, and proud to be a husband and father first. I am truly blessed to have known such a small part of Bill.
I’m sorry I won’t be able to make the services, but I will have all of you in my thoughts and prayers over the coming days, weeks and months.
I am sad to hear that Bill has passed. He was always a gentleman and a true professional; but more than that, a great guy. Maria, I am so sorry for your loss.
On behalf of myself, Barry Smith and all of the Staff of Neal and Smith, Barristers and Solicitors, I send sincere condolences to Maria and all of the family at at this difficult time.
I have such fond memories of Bill. He was larger than life, a gentleman and a man of great integrity and will be dearly missed by all who had the good fortune of knowing him
Sincerely, Randy Neal
