Anne and extended family., Very saddened to read the Bill had suddenly passed away. We crossed paths a lot since we first met working at Dalgetys in the 70's , and enjoyed each others company on many occasions since.
We had much the same interests and had a lot of good natured banter.
I will miss seeing him walking through the park playing golf , whilst I was going to work !
Condolences - Peter Howley

Thank you Adam for reaching out with the news of Dads passing, I really appreciate it. My love to you all. The tears have been replaced with so many memories.. from the early days of family get togethers to the squash tournaments and games we enjoyed be it he was one of the most frustrating people to play. They didn’t call him boaster Bill for nothing. An honest,, funny , big hearted gentleman has departed this world but I’d like to think he and Tony are trading stories and keeping each other company. Gone my friend Francis but certainly not forgotten. Edith.
