Also leaving with precious memories his 20 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren, sister Lorraine, sisters-in-law Edith Crane and Carmel Crane and a large number of nieces and nephews, especially Jack’s boys. Bill was a kind and loving man who adored his family, loved the outdoors especially in his garden, enjoyed days on the barrens and had an incredible zest for life. He worked for A. Harvey and Company for 41 years and the friendships formed there lasted a lifetime. He enjoyed his job but he treasured time with his wife and family above all else.
