Remembering Billy

​Our beloved President passed away on May 27, 2021.  Family and friends have created a web site dedicated to his memory:  Remembering Billy.  You can share your words and photos there.

Even in these, his later years, Billy was an active volunteer and a most sought after mentor and educator.

He did many good and charitable deeds & he loved the Egmont Heritage Centre, which he founded.

Billy would often direct the people for whom he had done one of these good deeds, to the museum saying:
  "If you really need to pay for my help then you can give it to the museum."

He was a generous man with his time (that ended too soon), his wealth (whatever he had) & his knowledge and wisdom (which, by all accounts, was beyond measure).

Thank you for taking this time to remember "Billy" with us. He is so very missed.
