Condolence: My Sister Suzanne , would like to sent a heartfelt thank you to everyone who left condolences and said such nice words and shared beautiful stories of Bill as well . You all showed Bill how much you are going to miss his smile , sence of humor and the way he would love to get people on the go ( I think he got that from our brother Carl :) and his one of a kind laugh , that I can still hear and just all around great to go to guy. It is more appreciated then you could ever know . All she does is read the kind and thoughtful messages and cries and reads them all over again and cries all day long . Screaming out in pain for Bill . She don't know what to do with herself She said Bill did not know how much he was loved and would loved that his friends took the time to say such kind of words about Bill . Suzanne has lost her soul mate , love of her life , a best friend and the only one she felt like she could talk to about anything . Things will never be the same for her in life without Bill there any more . Between God and family I hope she finds some comfort knowing we are there for her always and forever . I do wish the Martin family had showed Bill respect and reached out to my sister with condolences to let her know they were sorry for her loss . We still do not know who were the ( five cousins ) who claimed Bill as next of kin . . They say everything has a silver lining , I like to think the silver lining is ( by the grace of God ) her name was on their home and no one was able to take it from her . Things could have been a lot worst if possible for her . Again Thank you , thank you for your kind words and stories . If theirs someone who would still like to share stories about Bill we would love to hear them . I hope we were able to show how much Bill meant to us and how much we loved and cared for him . I hope we made you proud Bill . We tried our very best , you know that . Bill may be gone but our love for him is forever . Keep watch over Suzanne as she needs you now more then ever . We love you with all our hearts . It's so hard not having you here with us . There will be no Christmas for us this year . Till we meet again . Rest in peace my friend knowing we are there for Suzanne.

Condolence: I met Bill when I started working on the Service Desk at OCIO. I would always pass him in the halls and exchange a friendly "hey" or "how are ya?". When I moved from the Service Desk to the West Block, there was ol' Bill. Ready to get Brian Cleary going or to gab about any thing. We worked closely together while we were in the West Block and he joking referred to himself as my "work dad". Well "Work Dad", We lost touch when I left OCIO but you will definately be missed. You were a good friend, a friendly face and always good for a laugh. RIP my friend.

Condolence: I was very saddened to hear of Bills passing. His constant smile and friendly personality will be missed by his OCIO family. Treasure the memories. Rest In Peace Bill

Condolence: Bill will be terribly missed by all those whose lives he touched; that is evident by the many messages posted. He will be cherished in memories forever and may those fond memories bring you comfort during this very difficult time and for the road ahead. My condolences to Bill’s family, friends and fellow co-workers.

Condolence: Very sorry to hear of Bill's passing, my condolences to the Martin family. Bill was a great coworker and always great to work with.

Condolence: Suzanne , I pray you find comfort in the memberies you and Bill shared together . Like going to Florida that was a big deal for you guys , long drives out of town for the day or going to fine restaurants . He loved to wine and dine you and was so happy and proud to do it for you .Going to the movies , Buying you flowers all the time ,
jewelry . My favourite is the many dogs he brough you over the years . You guys just lost your dog a few months ago and I was telling everyone that I knew Bill was going to buy you a dog for Christmas , I still think he would of :( Bill was a upstanding guy, I was proud of who is was .I always though he was a very smart cookie and when he talk he always knew what he was talking about, he was a no door back kind of guy . You tell me I'm a lot like Bill that way , maybe I got it from him:) Suzanne words cannot tell you how much my heart breaks for you the last few days and years to come . Remember Bill would want you to be happy and to go on and live life till you both meet again . When you think of Bill which I know it's every second he's right there with you . Hold on to them memberies and there were a lot of good memberies . You will not go threw this alone . We love you with all put hearts and will be with you every step of the way the good and the bad and the ugly . I will be praying for you as I always do , it just might take alittle longer now . Hugs

Condolence: My heart is breaking for my sister Suzanne who lost the love of her life on Dec 10 , 2018 . Bill and Sizanne had been together for almost 40 years they both were in there teens when they started dating one another . Suzanne was Bill first and only love in life and Bill was Suzanne first and only love in life . Bill only loved one person in life and that was my sister Suzanne. I don't know how my Sister Suzanne will go on in life knowing Bill not there anymore . The shock she must of got when she walked in the living room and found Bill in his chair , she though he was joking around as he often did . I don't know how someone could get over being alone and finding your love one gone . No time to say good bye or even I love you. I would not wish that on anyone . Now Suzanne had to do what she never though she have to do and that was to lay Bill to rest . Now with no family to speak of or even know where or even a phone number for them as Bill had nothing to do with long lost family members . Suzanne had to take on difficult decision to lay Bill to rest the way she knew he would of wanted it cremated as his Mom was and lay to rest with his Mom and Dad and with no family members to speak of , she then had a private funeral services for Bill with the ones closest to him and to be honest Bill would have only wanted Suzanne there that's all that matter to Bill in life . My Sister Suzanne paid all funeral expenses asking no one for nothing ... It was with a heavy heart after them being together for almost 40 years that long lost family members (cousins )wanted to claim Bill as next of kin and they did that . Leaving Suzanne with no rights only the home they had together . Bill I know you wouldn't of wanted that for Suzanne and would be deeply hurt to know that happen to her . Bill worship the ground Suzanne walk on and Suzanne the same for Bill and love each other . She will cry a miss you everyday of her life and when she found you all she could say was I want to die to be with Bill . Life will go on for the rest of us but not for my sister Suzanne . Bill you are now in heaven with our brother Carl laughing up a storm as you both alway did in life and keeping God busy . You are gone but will never be forgotten by us . We. Will love you in death as we did in life . We will miss your laugh and witty ways about you and your sence of humour and always being there for my sister Suzanne is the biggest thing I will remember about you and your kind ways to her . You were one of a kind ,we miss you forever and then some you were our family member for almost 40 yrs. I grew up with you always around for Christmas and New Year's Eve , Mother's Day and many shopping days you would have with Mom and Suzanne on weekends. Rest in peace my friend , God speed my friend , till we meet again . we love you . So hard to say good bye to you Bill the only way I know how .
