Very very sorry to hear of the sad passing of Bill, I have fond memories of living across the road from Bill and the girls for most of my childhood.
We had so much fun growing up with Lynette and Janice. My father Ian or as a lot knew him ( Brownie ) spent a lot of time having a small wee gin or a beer on many a night. As kids we got into a lot of trouble over the years, but most in good humour. If not I was told to hit the road and go home. As you can imagine I did. ( most of the time.) I will think of all the wonderful times and know he is now in a good place looking down on us or perhaps flying around the skies with his pigeons keeping an eye on all. It has been a pleasure to know Bill and he will be missed.

Hi Jennifer and family
I first meet Bill some 63 years ago when he worked for A & T Burt the plumbing merchants in Tay Street.
He had a great friend in those days called Struan Price and boy did they get up to tricks.
Bill was a top bloke and a good friend
Take care Jenny and look forward to seeing you on the bowling green soon
Kind Regards to all Russell Hill

Sorry to hear about the passing of Bill. Raced pigeons with Bill for over ten years and he was always willing to give a hand. I am sure he will be greatly missed in the poultry world.
