Bill was a wonderful man, and I always enjoyed chatting with him about farming, 4-H, and curling. He had such a genuine passion for life, and I admired his dedication to his family, his community, and everything he cared about.
The conversations I shared with him were always full of warmth and insight, and his kindness and sense of humor will be missed by so many. Please know that I’m keeping you all in my thoughts and wishing you strength in the days ahead.

Posted on: Monday, February 3, 2025Lynn and family, we are heartbroken to hear of Bill’s passing. Bill was always so kind to us and his kindness will never be forgotten. When we visited the farm he went out of his way to always make you feel welcome. He was one of the hardest workers that we know-always on the go! He contributed greatly to 4H and always gave his all to his community. We will always remember him for his love of you, his family and especially those that called him “Da” (our hearts break for their loss). Bill was truly the good in this world! Please know that you and your family are always in our thoughts.
