    🕯 Jess Po lit a candle Dear Bill, I know how much Kane looked up to you, and admired your strength, determination, and will. I always loved hearing Kane talk about your cheekiness, and humor even until the end. The legacy you have left, will be one that many will remember. Love JessPo xxx

    🕯 Pam Perkinson lit a candle The lovely Bill will always be in our memory, his beautiful smile, his giggle, and when he mimicked Carreras in the three Tenors (the trip around the world function at Boulcott Golf club) how could we ever forget that wonderful rendition "and the applauds for MORE" just fabulous! I have come across the followin...

When you had to pull us into line, you always were g...

    🕯 Michele Dibley lit a candle We have many happy memories of fun times at 18 Carnegie with Pam and Bill. Many a laugh was always shared - we will miss Bill terribly. One lasting funny memory was when Bill and Pam spent Christmas Day 2012 with us. We played the game "Headbands" , where you put the name of a celebrity on the persons head and they ha...
