Obituaries

My family lived two houses from Billy. We lived at Dufferin complex. I remember him as a very lovey person. He always had a smile on his face and always around to lend a hand. Billy was a very kind soul with so much to offer. He was a big teddy bear. My Auntie Ann always ran into him at Portage Place. Everytime I visit my Auntie's we'd go there in hopes Billy would be there. But I'm left with beautiful memories of a person that made this world a better place cause he was in it. RIP Billy and may you be with the angels and pain free. Blessing my heart goes out to yours and friends. May your family have comfort knowing you're pain free and you're with the angels. xo Yours truly, Melody Pfeiffer

To Bruce and family sorry to hear about your loss.Billy was s fixture in the Lord Selkirk Park complex and loved by all. I don't think the big man had a mean bone in his body, and for us that was a good thing.

I first met Rocky about 5 years ago when he was dating a good friend of mine, Rocky would give u the shirt off his back, I remember going to visit him just after his surgery at the hsp. we were outside and he asked me for a smoke, when another gentleman asked for one too. That's when Rocky told the guy to get lost that he was the only one that could ask. Rocky u where a great man in and out of the wrestling business. U will be missed just not by ur family n friends but also by ur wrestling brothers n sisters. We love n miss u Rocky. RIP my friend (dynamite'Dougie'valentine)

I met Rocky through wrestling. He always was very kind to everyone he talked to, and never had a bad word about anyone. His presence at the shows will sadly be missed. RIP, my friend... Gone, but not forgotten!

I remember Rocky as he wanted to be known in wrestling where we both worked for 14 years, we were having a show at a community center and Rocky asked if he could ref our match so I said I'll see what happens then Rocky said I won't ask for any smokes for a month so I said okay you're in (he was going to be our ref anyway) and after the match he asked for one smoke only so I gave him one, the next week we had another show and he asked if I had an extra smoke so I gave him a pack.....that was Rocky.

I have known Bill for many many years. We became friends almost instantly.I have so many fond memories of my friend,which I will always hold in my heart.Bill was a very generous and kind soul,and also had a roughed edge to him.I will miss him dearly always and will hold him in my heart.I now have another wonderful angel looking down at me and see his smile and hear his laugh.I blow you a kiss up to the heavens Bill and know you return it.Rest in peace always dear friend.
