Obituaries

My condolences to the Allen family. Words are not enough in times like this. I spent many times with Bill over the years doing photography and sharing a coffee while talking about his favorite subject God and spirituality. Thanks for the memories old buddy.

Bill helped a lot of people. I will miss his wisdom and spiritual presence in my life. God Bless You Bill, your work will not be forgotten.

Bill inspired and helped me more than he would have realized, and I am forever grateful for having met him. He was such a pleasure to visit with and had a warm, caring and gentle spirit. He will be missed and thought of often. Thinking about his family during this time.

I always enjoyed seeing Bill, he had that spark for life. Bill was a great help to me and I watched him help many others on his journey. We will miss him.

Cindy,You probably won't remember me but my parents, Ben and Jean Ripley, were very good friends of your mom and dad. I know you also lost your mother last year. It has been a rough couple of years for you. My mom passed away over 20 years ago and dad passed away last November in Nova Scotia. He was aware of your mom's passing.Our sympathies are with you and we are thinking of you and your family at this time.regards,Alf RipleyBrandon, MB

His kindness towards others and positive outlook on life was, and will always be, extremely inspirational for me. I feel very grateful for having had the opportunity to get to know him. My thoughts are with his family.
