Dear Shirley and Family,
Sorry to hear of the the sudden passing of Bill. It was a pleasure to get to know him over the last few years. We always had a great chat about “home” and it always made me either homesick or made me feel closer to newfoundland. I will always be thankful to him for our conversations. I am sure that he is overlooking a beautiful view of the ocean and smiling down on you and your family. I will miss seeing him at my work and his telephone calls. May god strengthen you and your family at this difficult time.

Shirley,Jeff and Darlene,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. I only met Billy the one time at his Dad&&single&&s funeral but feel I have known him all my life. I will always remember his friendly smile and firm hand shake, and only wish I could have seen him when he was home this past summer. I was so happy to have received his reply to my email but at the same time concerned to have learned of his illness. Being a Ryan, I know he would have been very brave and faced this head on… “GOD BLESS HIM” and all of YOU.

Dear Shirley, Jeff, Darlene and families:
Our deepest condolences go out to you at this very difficult time in your lives. In the cherished times we shared together over the years it was always a pleasure to be in Bill&&single&&s company. Bill had a great sense of humor, easily bringing a good laugh and equally enjoying a hearty chuckle. Although miles spread us apart Bill and his family were always thought off and spoken off fondly. He will always remain in our hearts as we are sure he will remain in yours.
With love,
Ed and Eileen
