Bill was a great mentor to me in my journey with exhibition poultry. His knowledge and judging skills were a tremendous help to me as I tried to improve my stock and later as I began my own journey with judging. We enjoyed many evenings at the Royal with lots of stories, laughs and an occasional "sip" or too! I will always remember this special person.

Dear Janet, Robert, Barry and families, I was saddened to hear of Bill’s passing. My late husband Don and Bill were good friends, showing chickens all over Ontario. Bill was a great guy, a real gentleman and he will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad and difficult time. Susan. Coulter. ( Brethet )

Our deepest condolences to everyone. Sending love and light - Linda, Hunter, Jarrett and Ethan Wedmid

I had the pleasure of knowing Bill for over 35 years through our mutual involvement in exhibition poultry. We worked together for many years at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto. I always looked forward to spending time with him at the Royal. He will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear of Bills passing.The poultry world will miss him. He was always so friendly and always had time to help new showers and never minded answering all the questions we had in the many years I showed.. Condolences to Rob,Shari and the boys! Vickie ,Misti and Nicole Bottenfield
