It just won’t be the same on Friday nights at the poker table, but I’m pretty sure I got Lance figured out for you…….5 3 really…..all in….your the man. Start the car Sharon I’m coming home. I love you dad…..you were true till death and you will be sadly missed.
Love Always, Dale, Tara, Tyler and Kyle
My condolences to the Hammond family. Although I only knew Bill since I became a member of the Newfie Club a couple of years ago, it was not long before I had great admiration for this wonderful man. We will all miss your smiling face Bill, however, life is a journey and I am certain you are continuing that journey. You will truly be missed.

Please accept my sincere condolences to Bill’s family; our families shared many good times and memories together. While I never really got to know Bill, as the Military life took us back to Ontario, he was my Godfather. May Bill’s family find comfort and solace in the many memories with him.
With my deepest respect and sympathies,

It is with great sadness, to hear of Bill’s passing.. He leaves us with many happy memories of having a “few” at the Eagles Club. He was always the first face we saw walking into the Club. Thanks Bill for all of your hard work, you were always there to lend a helping hand! We will tip one up for you, SOCIABLE!!!

I am so sorry to hear of Billy’s passing…he was a good friend of our family when we lived in the Valley on Bell Island Nfld…way back. I hope you enjoyed your life here on earth and have found mom & dad, and my other relatives in Heaven…..
