Our very sincere sympathies to both you and Angus, Dianne. It’s long ago and far away since we last were in contact but both Rex and I both remember Bill with fondness. Ever the gentleman with a dry sense of humour. Take care.

Heartfelt sympathies to Diane and Angus. My husband John worked with Captain Bailey at the Harbour Office and Diane worked with me at Falmouth Bookshop, so over the years we've become friends. Bill was the essence of a "gentleman" kind, caring and with a wry sense of humour, and warm smile. RIP Bill, no more pain.
