Dear Lathee and Family. I was very saddened to hear of Bill's passing. How could one forget the larger than life jovial character who was loved by students and staff at Kingswell High School in the 70's. May he rest in peace. Anne Oliver (nee Gutzewitz)

So sorry to hear of Mr Veralls passing. Remember him from my school days. I attended Kingswell from 81 to 84.

Sad news learning of Bill's passing! My late husband, Chris Marshall, was an HOD Science teacher at Kingswell High School, and often spoke of Bill with much respect. My thoughts are now with Lathee & their very special family.

Our deepest sympathy to Lahtee, Ayesha, Saeeda & families.
Bill was a man who got heavily involved with family, school, friends and the community.
He was my boss, co-worker, friend and the world will be a lesser place without his presence.
