Our thoughts are with you Alison, Kevin, and family. Bill was my best friends older brother going back to 1949 50s & saved me many a long walk home by picking me up when I missed the last bus home while courting Peggy on his Bsa Gold flash , & much more help and support in the future, God bless him. Love from Pete & Peggy Taylor .

Bill was truly a gentleman, he introduced me to Cleethorpes Rotary Club in the 80’s then became mutual customers and a great friend who I had great respect for.My condolences to Anne, Kevin and Alison.

I will always remember bill from working for him in the early 80s
He was a fountain of knowledge
And don't just mean plumbing
If you know what I mean
He will be missed
Love to Kev And Alison
