Willy and I survived high school together and did a lot of curling together as kids. Bill, my brother Lorne, Jim Spinney and I got into young man trouble together which means we had a wonderful time. Once I moved back to the city again, Willy, Lorne, Jim and I would coffee occasionally and revisit old times..
Willy was a great guy and a tremendous amount of fun to be with. We curled in a high school bonspiel in North Battleford and were destitute as Lorne had dropped our bottle of booze while flipping it around. We pooled our cash to buy beer and decided Willy looked the oldest (and the bravest) and sent him off to the pub off sale. They said he was too young and threw him out. Willy came back mad as heck and said, Lorne lend me your glasses. He put Lorne's glasses on and went in the back door and successfully got us beer. We had a happy bonspiel. None of us involved will ever forget that memory.
Lorne and I send our heart felt condolences to all the family. Billy was a wonderful dude. Lorne and I will never forget him
