Bill was one of kind and I'm so glad to have known such a decent, caring soul. He will be greatly missed by his caring family as well as his legion of fans, of which he had many. Rest in peace, Bill, we'll be toasting your spirit in the days and years to come. Love from Dana on the west coast.

Our deepest sympathy to Bill's love, Velma, and his beloved children, Mary and Jim. My parents, Ed and Maxine Claypole, both deceased within the last 3 years, were best friends of both Bill and Velma. They looked forward to the weekly phone calls from both. I remember hearing that Bill used to deliver Meals on Wheels to Seniors - it sealed my deepest respect for him forever. And then there's his incredible WW II military service to Canada. God Bless You Mr. Watson - Rest in Peace. With love, Vicki Claypole-Anderson and Scott Anderson

I met Mr. and Mrs. Cleaver shortly after they moved to Kingsville in 1967. I had become friends with their son Jim, and they suffered through our high school hi-jinks graciously. Great memories. Bill was a wonderful guy. June, I am so sorry for your loss. - Eddie Haskell

The Ven. James & Marion Broadfoot posted a condolence
We were so sorry to learn of Bill's death. He was such a gentle man and such a giving man. Everyone who knew him enjoyed his ready smile and kind words expressed so lovingly. We knew Bill and Velma when we lived closer and know that the last few years have been difficult for both of them. But now Bill has gone "home" to a loving God who will care for him. On that last day He reached down; picked Bill up gently and carried him home. May the God of Comfort deal graciously with those who mourn their loss. God bless you all. Love, James & Marion

When we think of Bill & Velma, it brings a smile to our face. We enjoyed many a happy time ( and happy hour) with both our dear friends. Bill was forever the kind and considerate person who would do without, so you could have the whatever. He was an ardent fisherman and caught the grand daddy of all fish in 3 Mile Lake. Velma quipped" If he'd lost it I would have jumped in after it". Bill always had a smile and a positive outlook. His favorite expression was " this is good ". He will be missed by Velmie and we know he will continue to watch over her. He will always be near. Our love and sympathy to Mary and Jim and family. He was so proud of each of you. Much love, Terry & Joan

I met Bill and Velma for the first time in Kingsville when I became fast friends with their daughter Mary. I met them again with my husband for a memorable meal many years later in Vancouver. A fine evening and lively discussion with a superb couple. My thoughts are with all of you - Velma, Mary and Jim during this time of loss.
