To Diane and family, I'm saddened to hear of Bill's passing, a larger than life friend to many of us about the Waianiwa area. He was always on for a yarn about anything and engaged with us all, You will have many memories of him, just as we do, may they be of comfort to you in the weeks and months ahead
