Bill leaves behind his wife Toni, his son Tim and daughter-in-law Helen, and his much-loved grandchildren Sam and Kasia.

If, in lieu of flowers, you would like to make a donation in Bill’s memory, we are supporting Parkinson’s UK. Bill lived with the many challenges of Parkinson’s, and the support and guidance we received from this charity in helping us navigate those challenges and answer our many questions meant a great deal to us. Supporting their work feels especially meaningful. There is a link on this page, and there will also be a donation box at the service.
Many thanks for your kindness and support.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Bill, a truly wonderful member of our community.
Bill gave so generously of his time to support the Scouts and Cubs, as well as U3A groups, and his contribution to so many voluntary and charitable organisations was greatly valued by us all.
He was a kind, thoughtful man with a real love of life and a wonderful sense of fun. Above all, he was devoted to his family and will be remembered with great affection by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
Bill’s presence will be greatly missed in our community, but his kindness and the difference he made to so many lives will never be forgotten.
