That's too bad, I grew up playing hockey with his son Brad.  Bill was a great guy.

Reading the obit brought back memories of Bill reporting on the going on's of Knife lake and his insight to insurance matters back when this forum had a lot more action.  Bill will be missed.  My condolences go out to his family!
