Dear Ann Marie, Steven and family,
How sorry we all are to hear of Bill’s passing. We were so fortunate to have Bill as our neighbour for 38 years. Whenever a project was underway, Bill would happily offer a hand not only to us, but to all Deloraine’s neighbours. He was a true gentleman with a generous spirit and a brilliant mind. We particularly cherish our memories of Theatre nights and New Year’s Eve celebrations when Bill loved to dance the night away with Ann Marie.
Praying for you during this difficult time.
All our love,
Bill, Jeannine and family.

Dear Ann Marie and Family,

Sincerely
Dear Rose ,

On behalf of myself Jason and my Mother Joan Rosenitsch who was Bill’s cousin, who has also passed away…Bill was a very kind and gentle person with a good & generous soul. Mom told me of many good stories of Bill, being there for her in so many ways in her life. She could always count on him. When she was in need and in hospital, Bill was there, came to be with her and give his support. When my Grandmother Anna Rosenitsch who was Bill’s Aunt passed away in 1999, Bill and his family were there for my Mom and myself, he supported us during the service. May God keep a special place in Heaven for Bill.
Dear Ann Marie & Steven
Sorry to hear about Bill’s passing. We will remember
you in our prayers. Bill was a very kind person.
He will be joining a place in heaven with John.
God Bless and keep safe.
Sincerely
