My condolences to the family. Bill was a very kind-hearted person. He had a great sense of humour, even if he could catch me out sometimes, and that gave us a good giggle once I caught on. He helped me complete my garage and did some windows for me at my place, among other things. He loved his dogs that I knew, Katie and Poppy. We spent a Christmas day together. I loved watching his trains on the tracks he set up in a garage in Raetihi. I knew he took them all with him to Wanganui, and I saw them being set up. I had a couple of visits with a cuppa after he moved to Wanganui. I still have items he built for me. Great memories of him and they will never be forgotten. RIP Bill
