You left us way to soon and will leave a hole in our hearts. You will forever be the little boy who ran every where on tip toes and even stepped on Meghan and she didn’t even feel it. You will be the little boy who built himself a game console out of cardboard. You will always live on in our memories for the special individual you were.
Love you
Aunt Colleen

My deepest condolences to the Wilson family.
I met Bill in 2003 when he was a first year apprentice.
He was a great worker and always willing to learn.
Later we worked together on other jobs. He was a great partner.
I am very saddened about his loss.
RIP Billy.
