Thinking of you Jeanette & family at this sad time of Bill's death.
I always enjoyed seeing Bill at the surgery. We seemed to hit it off and shared good natured grumbles about what was wrong with the world and the needed solutions. He had a ready smile and a good natured acceptance of life.
You, especially Jeanette will miss him. Best wishes Jeanette, kindest regards John V

Dear Boyd family
I am so sorry to hear of your loss and your heartache.
I will always remember the warm acceptance your family gave to all strays that ended up in your parent's home. What a legacy.

Thinking of you all at this really sad time.
Bill was a family man first and foremost - a devoted husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who was loved by all.
I’ll always remember him for his mischievous sense of humour and his very lame dad jokes - that even made the kids cringe.
Rest in peace and keep tending the garden beds in heaven.
From Jason, Olivia and Emma
