Wm, I cannot believe that you could possibly be gone. We will always miss you and your fun and your talent so much. You are with "The Boys" now, (Gumby and Pokey and the Clothes Pin Guys), in that eternal "Time Machine" of yours and I hope you are taking it to all of your favorite times and places. I will think of you every time I look at my dryer door for the rest of my life. -Laura #1642771

Gord, he had us both fooled, we called him William, then Bill, because we tried guessing what the W was for. He must have been laughing along at us all of the time, as he allowed us to call him that for so long! His name is Wayne. We will miss him. A beautiful tribute, LouLou and thank you for arranging this lovely image. #11400116

A beautiful tribute, Laura, to be beautiful man and a great photographer. Very sad, he will be missed. #11401699

Laura E. Swan level-classic November 21, 2015

Thank you Emile, Stan, Rita and Rona. Yes, he sure was a beautiful person. That is an excellent way to have described him, Rona. genuinely kind and sweet and silly through and through. And was a gifted photographer and organizer. I never knew anyone that had such a relationship with the items in his fridge, either. The eggs would talk to the stale food in the back of the fridge, etc.. OM GOSH he was so funny! Some of the conversations and threads we shared. Priceless. We all spent so many entertaining and funny days and evenings on here with Wm. #11401701

Irene Colling level-classic January 07, 2016 1

Thank you Laura for posting this photo to let others know of Wm's passing. I asked him once if he goes by William or Bill (Wm seems hard to pronounce) he replied he just goes by Wm. He is laughing now for fooling all of us about his name.
My husband died in September, maybe they'll meet up in Heaven. #11420238

Laura E. Swan level-classic May 04, 2016

Thank you Amanda, Irene and Rey. And now we have lost Ellen Hodges. Ellen and Wm were both born on Halloween, co-incidentally. They will both be missed so much. Not a day goes by I don't think of Wm and now it will be the both of them. :( #11470439

Laura E. Swan level-classic October 31, 2016 1

Thinking of you today, Wm. Wherever you are. XX #11532755

Laura E. Swan level-classic October 31, 2016

Irene I'm sorry that you lost your husband last year. I can't believe it didn't sink in and I didn't say that in January when you posted your comment. Likely my eyes were swollen up over Wm and Ellen and my own life sadness's here too. Please forgive me. I didn't mean to oversight your pain. My own life here has been so clouded with death too. My Father then our only children (our 3 little old kitties) and then my husbands Father all in a 5 year stretch. We are all going through it and it has been hard. I'm so sorry you are suffering too. :( I hope you are still connected to this thread and I hope you are getting along okay? And yes, who knows. Maybe Wm made his way around heaven and has made friends with your husband! I can see Wm doing that! He was so friendly and fun. #11533101
