I am sorry to hear of Bill's passing. He was a wonderful man and school leader. I worked with Bill for several years at Our Lady of Help school in Wallaceburg. Truly a remarkable man. I have many fond memories of his leadership and above all friendship. Rest in peace Bill!

Dear Doreen, Karen, and cousins Cathy, Michael and Trisha,
My family and I are all very sad to hear the news of Bill’s passing.
It’s such a hard time for all of you; perhaps take comfort that the very large Carruthers family is mourning with you , and praying for Bill.
Bill was the first of our clan to choose Education as his loved career. I can personally say that those of us who followed his lead enjoyed and loved it as much as he did.
With love and prayers,
Bonnie Carruthers Vadacchino

To Doreen and Family
Rick and I were so sad to hear of Bill's passing. Seems it was just a very short while ago that we were chatting and joking with him while out weeding the flower bed. We always enjoyed spending time with him. You and Bill have been great neighbors and will miss him very much.

Bill was a great mentor during my early days with the Regiment association. What a wealth of knowledge he had. I was always impressed with how well he shared and taught the information he gathered over his lifetime. I will miss Bill and his enormous presence, as will many in the military family.
