A true and worthy friend.
His heart was for his family, Mandy, their children and grandchildren.
A gentle soul with so much love to give.
We have so many fond memories, especially during our many racquetball days.

It was our privilege to welcome Bill and Mandy to our new home in Mandurah WA late last year.
They were holidaying and we so much enjoyed their company and showing them around Mandurah.
Who would have thought that a few weeks later Bill would be diagnosed with such an insidious disease.
Bill didn’t deserve this. We were devastated. How did this happen to such a wonderful man?
We will always treasure our last conversation with Bill where he showed so much courage and compassion.
It was very emotional for Bill and us.
God bless you Bill.
We will never forget you.
Take care of yourself Mandy.

Bill had a quiet strength, and a gentle presence that didn’t need many words to make you feel at ease.
Above all, he was a good man.

My parents were best friends with Bill.
To me, he was kind and funny.
He will be missed.

My deepest condolences to his wife Mandy and their kids, Brendan, Megan, and Shane.

RIP Bill.

To Mandy and all the family.
Our deepest condolences on this sad day.
We only just found out the news and am deeply sorry to hear this.
Sending you our warm hugs and deep thoughts for Bill's passing.
It's been a while since we had seen him, but always had a thought about him many times as I'm still working in the electricity industry and keep seeing his name pop up on some drawings.
Bill was a wonderful work colleague and was one of the warmest hearted people to work with.
May you RIP my friend.

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Bill passed away peacefully last Friday night - April 10, 2026, after his shock pancreatic cancer diagnosis in December last year.
While our hearts are broken, we find comfort knowing he is no longer in pain.

Thank you all for your prayers, love, and support during this difficult time.
