Bill used to embarrass me by singing "I got a girl, Donna was her name....." whenever I went around to visit Vicki. He was always the kindest guy to me and loved to chat. I was lucky to be able to speak to him one last time on the phone last year when he rang Dad. So glad I did.

Bill was my best friend and we go right back to our first day at St Joseph's Convent. We caught the train from Heretaunga together and shared many detentions for misbehaviour over the years. Our boyhoods were filled with eeling in the Hutt river, catching possums, and building forts in Barton's Bush. We went to different high schools but always got together at weekends to hunt for golf balls or sometimes to go the Duck Pond in the hills with Paul Cumming, Denis Brady, John Delaney, Michael O'Neil and Mario Lupi, for tramping and barbecues. We were never at home it seemed. Later we were regulars at the local dances. Bill was never much of a golfer but really into his rugby. He was a good guy, I hardly ever saw him lose his temper and he was always ready to lend a helping hand. Bill, you will be sorely missed. Peter. 47/16 Golf Links Rd, Christchurch 8061.
