Our Sincere Condolence To The Family

Bill and I were friends growing up together in Med. Hat and a strong bond was forged. Bill was a very good human being and will remain in our thoughts forever.
The Papsdorf family, Jim, Dick, Linda and Eric.
Our very deepest sympathy to you Betty, your family and all of Bill’s family as well as your brother Dan. It was a shock to hear that Bill had passed away. He was such a wonderful man and very dear friend. We will miss him greatly. Not only is Bob’s chair empty at Rustlers but now Bill’s as well. Our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you all at this most difficult time. God bless each and every one of you and may he comfort you all.
Lorraine & Harvey Fauser
Dan and family,
We were so very sorry to hear of Billy’s passing. He was something. I remember when you both worked together in Upholstery and rented space from my Dad at the Scotty’s Glass Shop. As a young girl I often popped into the shop and found Billy to always be so hospitable and ever willing to let me check out what you were working on – boats and especially hot rods. I still remember his gorgeous red corvette convertible (around 83 I think) which he let me sit in and get my picture taken after the Medicine Hat Parade. It may have fuelled my own passion and appreciation for classic cars.
I will miss his smile and congenial disposition. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Margaret (nee McCulloch) Simon
