worked for Bell Canada from 1956 until 1986, when he retired, and
moved to the Island in 1987 from Ottawa. Bill renewed his first love of
forestry by planting thousands of trees and managing his sugar bush. He
thoroughly enjoyed nature and was able to recognize and identify most
birds by their sound and trees and vegetation by their appearance. Bill was
a loving and caring, husband, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and
friend. He will be sadly missed, but many happy memories will be cherished.
