Condolence: Dear Eileen and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Working for Bill for so many years at Sears-Markville was a true pleasure. He was the type of Store Manager that had it all. He has very intelligent and creative when it came to managing the store and his staff. Everyone loved Bill. I will truly miss all the stories and laughs we shared over coffee.😢 Thanks for the memories, Deanna Gottschalk

Condolence: Jean and I are deeply saddened to hear of Bill's passing. As life long friends we have shared so many special moments with Bill, Eileen and family and will forever cherish the friendship, laughter and times spent together (especially Bill and I skipping school to go duck hunting)! Never brought much game home but had loads of fun. We will deeply miss you old friend and send our love and sincere condolences to Eileen and family. Bill and Jean Smith.

Condolence: Forgot to mention.....every time we hear Old Time Rock and Roll, we think of Bill & smile. xxx

Condolence: Sincere condolences to the family. Bill was one of the best people I have ever worked with at Sears and he mentored me with my HR career in the early days.

Condolence: So sorry to hear about Bill's passing, I travel back to Prince George often, oldest son lives there, so often think of our time there, walk through the store and that brings many memories, all good. My sincere condolences to you Eileen and your family. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Harold

Condolence: Longtime ago. But don't forget Billy and I think his brother who were always interested in cars. I lived on 13 block Rae street. I am assuming that Eileen was Eileen Newis? Of course as you can tell, I lost track of Bill and Eileen along the way. But I still remember what always appeared to me to be Bill's smile and eternal optimism. I think that Bill lived on same block as Brian Hunt and the Ireton family. Regardless Eileen may peace and love be with you and your family now and forever. Mike Walker

Condolence: Dear Eileen and family , Having worked with Bill in many different situations at different times I grew to appreciate what a very fine person Bill was.

Our thoughts are with you and your family Dale and Norma Mastre

Condolence: Dear Eileen, Michelle, Michael & Family My deepest sympathy to all of you. I will so miss hearing him call me Kiddo whenever he saw me. My love to you all. Erin

Condolence: Some people touch your heart in a way you can never erase. Bill was one of those people. I had the privilege of working with Bill at Sears, Markville in Markham, Ontario. It was one of the best experiences in my career. He empowered us with knowledge, motivated us with his advice & guidance, and inspired us with his confidence in us. There was no "i" in his team. Bill, you were a fabulous boss and a cherished friend. We will miss you. Eileen, Michael, Michelle and family, you're in our thoughts and prayers. We know how much you will miss him and what a special husband, father and grandfather he was. With our love, Tony & Nancy.

Condolence: Dear Auntie Eileen, Kellie and I were very sad to hear about the passing of Uncle Bill - many of my fondest memories of Uncle Bill would be at the beach growing up as kids were Uncle Bill would take us all fishing in his small aluminum boat, he always made being together as a family very special and his smile would light up any room. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Michelle & Michael during this very challenging time.

Condolence: Eileen, Michelle, Mike & family, Words are not enough to express how sorry we are for your loss and how much Bill will be missed. Our memories of him will be kept close to our hearts and very grateful that he was part of many of our own life changing events over the past several years, especially MC’ing on our wedding day and coming to the hospital to meet the boys for the very first time. While our hearts are aching, we know that Heaven has gained a truly special angel to watch over us. Love Kathryn, Evan & the boys

Condolence: Dear Eileen and Family, Mort and I have so many fond memories chumming with you and Bill in our late teens and twenties. We had good times partying in Regina and at Regina Beach, playing cards, (spoons), charades, dancing and having the odd beer. Bill and I shared an interest in cars. We have fond memories of our road trip to Toronto and Montreal in 1967, and getting in the odd golf game with Bill. We are so sorry to hear of Bills passing. He will be missed.

Condolence: Dear Eileen and Family, Please accept our condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. With deepest sympathies, The Tran Family

Condolence: News of Bill's death is very sad. Both Cheryl and I had the pleasure of working for Bill in Prince George and we both agree that those were some of our very best years. Bill was a vortex of positive energy, humanity and just plain old fashioned decency. He was one of the good guys, in fact the best of the bunch. Thank you Eileen for sharing Bill with us for those few short years. He will always be remembered fondly and I know that sentiment is shared by every member of Sears Prince George 1821 on whom he left an indelible mark.

Condolence: Dear Eileen and family; We were so sad to hear of Bill's passing after such a valeant struggle. Like you, we will miss his great stories and quick wit. Our poker nights and deck parties will never be quite the same, but our fond memories will carry on. God bless. Frank and Patty

Condolence: Dear Eileen, Mike and Michelle Really sad to hear of Bill's passing. You guys were the greatest neighbours for the time you spent in Edmonton. Bill and Eileen were best friends. The laughs too many and the stories could go on forever. The golf tournaments, our basement gatherings and New years eve were memorable. He was a great guy and will be sorely missed. Our deepest sympathy from our family to all of you

Condolence: Our deepest sympathy in learning of Bill's passing. We will remember him fondly for his quick wit and charming ways. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Condolence: Eileen and family, so vey sorry to hear of Bill's passing, his wit and humour always brightened our get togethers... you are in our thoughts, remembering the good times and now know that he does not suffer anymore..

Condolence: So very sad and full of sorrow to learn of your loss. Bill was my Best friend during our teenage years and his humour always helped us through any dark days. He could always brighten a room with his entrance and we loved him so very much. When Wendy first met Bill his knowledge of music put him on a pedestal with her and he was an easy choice to be our Best Man at our wedding. Bill was a wonderful person and will be dearly missed. Al our Love and prayers Randy and Wendy Craig

Condolence: Our deepest condolence Eileen and family. The fond memories of you and Bill and the good times we had in Prince George are forever in our hearts. We still laugh about the time we went to see Harry Belafonte and Doug fell asleep on Bills shoulder. Our love and deepest sympathy. Elaine and Doug
