To Shirley and all the Norrie Family, Bill was one of the sweetest people a person could ever want to meet! He was always so thoughtful of others, and always attentive of his beloved Shirley, whom my heart breaks for. I do not know his children, grandchildren or Grt grandchildren but I know that they are blessed to have him as the Paternal being in their lives. Bill was always ready to do some wood working to use to raise funds for the Seniors Club or donations to our hospital or others in need. He was thoughtful and kind. I never saw him be unkind to anyone. Rest easy Bill, Our Savour was a Carpenter maybe you can share some methods of your woodworking with him.

To the Norrie Family
It is with heavy hearts that Bill has passed. Just seen him the other day and had a great talk. He was looking forward to us building our new home just up the road. I guess I was too long in getting started. I am sure he will be keeping an eye on us when we start the build.
