I met Bill at Backstreet West several years ago. A remarkable man, sharp as a tack. One of his favourite joys was to drive down to Cutbank, play the slots, have a steak, and spend the night there. Or go to the Bar U Ranch. He drove by himself,welll into his nineties. He was rightly proud of his WWII service as a sergeant. He managed to transition from being a farmer to a school counsellor by obtaining a degree at the University of Montana. He loved working with high school students and was proud to be able to give counsel to students on issues that they would or could not discuss with teachers or parents. A kind, generous, responsible, and creative person! Thank you for your service, Bill! You were one of a kind!
