Kevin and Beth Gorman.
Kim and Dan Deslauriers.
Cindy and Gary Gronfors.
Sherri and Ron Vandermolen.

Billy will be missed by his step-daughter Ashley and grandson Nicholas.
He was a truly amazing uncle and great-uncle to many nieces and nephews. And he was loved by many aunts and uncles.
Billy adored his cat, Smudge.
Following the tradition of a Bronte boy, Billy was a loyal friend, protector and life of the party.
He was known as an extremely hard worker as a hydrovac and had many friends in the field.
We will miss the stories Billy shared but know that the storytelling will carry on.

Your smile could light up a room, and when you walked in we all knew the “king” was there. You were the big brother I never had, the protector of many and someone we all knew would be there for us no matter what. Although you have left us way to soon, you will live on with the many memories and stories we all share. This day came way too soon, but I hope you knew how loved you truly were. I will miss you and love you forever and always Uncle Bill. Yvonne my heart breaks for you and I am forever greatfull for the love you and Billy shared xox
